Access HtmlHelpers from WebForm when using ASP.NET MVC

Question

I am adding a WebForm from which I would like to resolve routes to URLs. For example, in MVC I would just use

return RedirectToAction(\"Action\", \"Control         


        

Answer 1

For those looking for an actual HtmlHelper or a cleaner way to use the urlHelper in a page:

public static class PageCommon
{
    public static System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper GetUrlHelper(this System.Web.UI.Control c)
    {
        var helper = new System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper(c.Page.Request.RequestContext);
        return helper;
    }
    class ViewDataBag : IViewDataContainer
    {
        ViewDataDictionary vdd = new ViewDataDictionary();
        public ViewDataDictionary ViewData
        {
            get
            {
                return vdd;
            }
            set
            {
                vdd = value;
            }
        }
    }
    public static System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper GetHtmlHelper(this System.Web.UI.Control c)
    {

        var v = new System.Web.Mvc.ViewContext();
        var helper = new System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper(v, new ViewDataBag());
        return helper;
    }
}
