ASP.NET MVC: How to create a usable UrlHelper instance?

Question

I am using quartz.net to schedule regular events within asp.net mvc application.

The scheduled job should call a service layer script that requires a UrlHelper instance

Answer 1

Remember to specify the protocol parameter when using UrlHelper.Action method, this will generate absolute urls. Example:

url.Action("Action", "Controller", null, "http")

or

url.Action("Action", "Controller", null, request.Url.Scheme)
