An elegant way of showing URL on page

Question

Is there an elegant way of showing URL on page using ASP.NET MVC3 .The method I'm looking for should accept contollerName,actionName and routeValue(similiar to @Html.ActionLink() by arguments)

e.g.Code: Here's the link: @thatMethod("Show", "Post", new { Post = 0 })

e.g.Result: Here's the link: http://localhost:3120/Post/Show/0

EDIT 1: I dont wan't it to be hyperlink,just plain text.

EDIT 2: It needs to show domain ("http://localhost:3120" in previous example)

I tried just as you told, and i got "/Post/Show/0" as a result,but I wanted to get "http://localhost:3120/Post/Show/0" .Any idea? – Miro Aug 31 '11 at 13:41
Hmm I realized that, in the mean while I found [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/434604/how-to-i-find-the-absolute-url-of-an-action-in-asp-net-mvc) what just does what you want, if you add routeValues as a parameter – Major Byte Aug 31 '11 at 13:43
Can you post that last one as a new answer so I could accept it as an Answer? Great,Thx :) – Miro Aug 31 '11 at 13:56

You can use Html Helper extensions.

Html Helper class

public static class HtmlHelpersExtensions
{
   public static string ActionLinkText(this HtmlHelper helper, string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName,object htmlAttributes, string spanAttributes)
  {
     TagBuilder spanBuilder = new TagBuilder("span");
     spanBuilder.InnerHtml = linkText;
     spanBuilder.Attributes.Add("class", spanAttributes);

     return BuildAnchor(spanBuilder.ToString(), string.Format("/{0}/{1}", controllerName, actionName), htmlAttributes);
  }

  private static string BuildAnchor(string innerHtml, string url, object htmlAttributes)
  {
     TagBuilder anchorBuilder = new TagBuilder("a");
     anchorBuilder.Attributes.Add("href", url);
     anchorBuilder.MergeAttributes(new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes));
     anchorBuilder.InnerHtml = innerHtml;

     return anchorBuilder.ToString();
   }
}

View

@Html.ActionLinkText("Your Text", "Show", "Post", new { @title = "Your Text" }, "").Raw()

This may help you.
