    copied!<p>I'm new to ASP.NET MVC and can't figure this out. Working through the Nerdinner example from Professional ASP.NET MVC 2, I copied the PaginatedList helper class and decided to improve it so the forward and back links could be generated by a method within the class instead of writing them out in every view page. I copied this from the view that it was in, Index.aspx:</p> <pre><code>if (Model.HasPreviousPage) { Response.Write(Html.RouteLink("&lt;&lt;&lt;", "Users", new { page=(Model.PageIndex-1) })); } </code></pre> <p>And used it to create this method within Helpers\PaginatedList.cs:</p> <pre><code>public string NavLinks() { if (HasPreviousPage) { return Html.RouteLink("&lt;&lt;&lt;", "Users", new { page=(PageIndex-1) }); } } </code></pre> <p>(HasPreviousPage is a simple method within PaginatedList.)</p> <p>Straight away it complains that "The name 'Html' does not exist in the current context, so I modified it to take a parameter:</p> <pre><code>public string NavLinks(HtmlHelper Html) </code></pre> <p>Now I get "'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'RouteLink' and no extension method 'RouteLink' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".</p> <p>According to Microsoft documentation on LinkExtensions.RouteLink method, "In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type HtmlHelper". Do they lie?</p> <p>Help!</p>
