I'm using WebForms c#.
I have a few primary site links that I use everywhere - on menus, inline in text etc. I came up with the idea of trying to clean things up a bit as putting a hyperlink control in the middle of busy text is a pain to manage.
I came up with the idea of embedded codeblocks - they may be yesterdays technology, but they provide a simple way of getting simple bits of data into code.
I use routing and already have static methods to pull back routes. I also use enum to store route names.
All is good but in order to embed the method, I need to use the fully qualified name. I can circumvent that by adding a method to my basecontrol class, like this:
protected string Link(RouteName name, string text)
{
return PageRoute.Link(name, text);
}
Which gives me this:
<% =Link(MySite.BLL.Routing.RouteName.Privacy, "privacy policy") %>
However, I can't get rid of the fully qualified enum that sits in the same namespace as PageRoute.
Is there any way to achieve this, or perhaps another dierction I might take?
This is what I'd like to be able to do:
<% =Link(RouteName.Privacy, "privacy policy") %>
