nameof cannot be used for Controller names in methods like RedirectToAction

[rustd]

I wanted to use nameof in our templates for controller names and actions. I can use them fine for action names but when I try to use it for Controller names, I get runtime errors about routes not being found,

The following code results in /HomeController/Index instead of /Home/Index

RedirectToAction(nameof(HomeController.Index), nameof(HomeController))

[rustd]

@DamianEdwards @Eilon this was for Beta5 for the templates. it would be great if we can get this in. not sure though

One possible suggestion was to remove the Controller suffix in the templates:

namespace MyApp.Controllers
{
    public class Home : Controller
    {
       public void Index()
       {
       }
   }
}

This way we don't have to mess with strings when resolving controller names.

No plans to change anything here.
