Question

I’m writing a helper method for ASP.NET MVC and I need to call Url.Content to get an appropriate URL for the context. However, in order to create a new UrlHelper() I need to get the current RequestContext (System.Web.Routing.RequestContext to be precise) and I’m not sure how to grab it. Anyone know?

Noticed this was still unanswered. As of MVC 1.0 you can do:

public static string NewHelperMethod(this HtmlHelper helper)
{
    UrlHelper url = new UrlHelper(helper.ViewContext.RequestContext);
