Hi Nathan/Dave, 

 

This seems to work but seems ugly:

 

string returnURI = 
HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsolutePath,"")
 

                        + Url.Action("SomeAction", "SomeController");

 

I need to generate it based on where the site is deployed but it needs to be a 
full URL as it’s passed to a callback function on another site.

 

Regards,

 

Greg

We use a helper extension method to wrap as have configurable cdn esp. for 
images and other static resources. Was the only way we found we could do it. 
Extra complexity for us is we wrap a SquishIt bundle up as well to turn on/off 
minification and combination of files.

Instead of using Url.Action, couldn't you just write your own <a href>?

Hi Folks,

 

In MVC4, in the code for a controller, what’s the best way to calculate the 
fully qualified URL for a particular action?

 

Eg: If I use 

 

Url.Action(“SomeAction”,”SomeController”)

 

The intellisense for Action says “gets a fully qualified URL”. However what I 
get back is:

 

/SomeController/SomeAction

 

What I want is:

 

http://www.whateversiteIhit.com/SomeController/SomeAction 
<http://www.somesite.com/SomeController/SomeAction> 

 

As I need to pass it to an external callback.

 

What’s the best way to do that?

 

Regards,

 

Greg
