Question

Since I have decided to let RC go while staying with Beta for now, I have no way of knowing whether a strongly typed RedirectToAction has been added. Has anybody tried it and is there a strongly typed RedirectToAction (and maybe ActionLink) in RC?

No, it doesn’t.

protected RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction<T>(Expression<Action<T>> action, RouteValueDictionary values) where T : Controller {     var body = action.Body as MethodCallExpression;      if (body == null)     {         throw new ArgumentException('Expression must be a method call.');     }      if (body.Object != action.Parameters[0])     {         throw new ArgumentException('Method call must target lambda argument.');     }      string actionName = body.Method.Name;      var attributes = body.Method.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(ActionNameAttribute), false);     if (attributes.Length > 0)     {         var actionNameAttr = (ActionNameAttribute)attributes[0];         actionName = actionNameAttr.Name;     }      string controllerName = typeof(T).Name;      if (controllerName.EndsWith('Controller', StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))     {         controllerName = controllerName.Remove(controllerName.Length - 10, 10);     }      RouteValueDictionary defaults = LinkBuilder.BuildParameterValuesFromExpression(body) ?? new RouteValueDictionary();      values = values ?? new RouteValueDictionary();     values.Add('controller', controllerName);     values.Add('action', actionName);      if (defaults != null)     {         foreach (var pair in defaults.Where(p => p.Value != null))         {             values.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value);         }     }      return new RedirectToRouteResult(values); } 

That should work.
