MVC Helper Extensions

Project Description
MVC Helper Extensions is a .NET library that makes creating links within your ASP.NET MVC application a snap by eliminating the need to repetitively specify controller names, action names and model ids for HTMLHelpers. It can also save you from "magic string" pitfalls in MVC.

Instead of calls like this in your MVC views:

 <%= Html.ActionLink("Person #3 - Hard Way", "Details", "People", new { ID = person3.ID }, null /*HTML attributes*/) %> 

Improve your code by using the MVC Helper Extensions:

 <%= Html.LinkTo(“Person #3 - Easy Way”, person3) %> 

There is no more need to specify controller names, action names and model ID's manually time and time again.
