I want to use the Html Helper class to build, for example, an Html.ActionLink from within a controller action. I don't see it available from within controller actions. What am I missing?

  • Oh, I totally understand to resist using Html Helpers in the controllers... but what happens when I want logic to control which link is presented? Then I have to dump logic into my view. Same violation, different area. Commented Aug 14, 2009 at 21:55

Consider using UrlHelper @ Controller.Url. You can use it to generate a url, then pass it to your view. The view is the right place to create a link to the url.

I don't think you should be using the html helper methods in your controller. This stuff is best left in the view
