get IUrlHelper inside the Html Helper's method

[omuleanu]

hi,
is there an easy way to get the IUrlHelper inside the extension method of an IHtmlHelper, besides passing it as a parameter from the view
I tried this:

html.ViewContext.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(IUrlHelper));

but no luck

Get the IUrlHelperFactory and use that to create an IUrlHelper.

@dougbu urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper asks for ActionContext as a parameter, can I get from IHtmlHelper ?

[dougbu]

can I get from IHtmlHelper?

Yes, ViewContext is an ActionContext subclass and that's exposed in IHtmlHelper.

Thank You, it works
