How to parse a url string using mvc2 routes

Question

I'd like to know if there is a simple way of building a RouteValueDictionary from a url. For example if I have a url http://www.site.com/controllerA/actionB/idC, then how can I extract the RouteValueDictionary where the item with the key controller would have the value of controllerA.

Note this isn't for testing so I don't want to use mocking and the solution here does not seem to be working.

Where would you like/need this code to be run from? What exactly would you use it for? — Alastair Pitts, May 21 '10 at 04:36
It's used for a help system where the url is parsed and rules are used to identity the help id for the given url. — Daniel Little, May 23 '10 at 23:55

It seems this was never an issue addressed by MVC so I have written by own URL parser. Although reflector does help a bit.
