how to obsolete controller name from Html.ActionLink in mvc3

Question

I want to obsolete controller name from Html.ActionLink
because I defined my controller in route how to do this,
because if I leave controller name blank in Html.ActionLink
mvc3 automatically put current controller name in Action Link.

What do you mean by "i want to obsolete controller name from Html.ActionLink" — dtsg, May 22 '12 at 08:22
I think OP doesn't want to specify the controller twice, both on the route and the action link. — Marnix van Valen, May 22 '12 at 08:50

If you named your route, you can use RouteLink instead of ActionLink. You'll only have to specify the name of the route, not the controller. Here's an example of a named route:

routes.MapRoute( "myRoute", 
                 "doStuff/Now", 
                 new {controller = "MyController", action = "DoIt"} );

And here's how to use it in your view

Html.RouteLink( "Do it!", "myRoute" );

Please see MSDN for full details on RouteLink.
