TypedRoute

Use TypedRoute.CreateFromExpression<TClass>(...).ToString() or the provided OrchardHelper.Action() and HttpContext.Action() extensions.

Check out the Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries.Samples project for examples and a video demo here.

If you also use our UI Testing Toolbox, you can use the UITestContext.GoTo() extension method from there, as well.
