How to use the Expression Parsing helpers

[George Mauer]

I want to build my own HtmlHelper with the following signature


public MvcHtmlString ButtonLink<CONTROLLER>(string
linkText, Expression<Func<CONTROLLER, ActionResult>> action, object
htmlAttributes = null) where CONTROLLER : IController


and usage

@Html.Mobile().ButtonLink<MyController>("My Text", x=>x.MyAction())

I am having trouble accounting for all the variations to get the
Action Name to pass to Url.Action(..)
I know that mvc contrib has helpers for getting action names out of
expressions but for the life of me I can't find them.

Can someone help?

This isn't actually in mvccontrib, but microsoft's MvcFutures library
(Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll). Check out the LinkBuilder class in that
assembly.
