Get current page URL without query parameters - Ra

Question

Is there a method in Razor that returns the current pages URL without the query parameters.

I need to shove it into an HTML helper method I have created as a string.

@Url does not seem to work and if I do .ToString() I just get the namespace LOLLL

Razor use:

<th width="100%" @Html.SortTableClickEvent(@Url.ToString(), "Name")>

Html helper:

    public static MvcHtmlString SortTableClickEvent(this HtmlHelper html, string url, string column)
    {
        StringBuilder sortingPropertiesObject = new StringBuilder();
        sortingPropertiesObject.Append("var properties = new James.prototype.Table.SortingProperties();");
        sortingPropertiesObject.Append("properties.url = \"" + url + "\"");
        sortingPropertiesObject.Append("properties.colName = \"" + column + "\"");

        string clickEvent = "onclick = James.Table.SortByColumn(properties, this);";

        return MvcHtmlString.Create(sortingPropertiesObject + clickEvent);
    }

What gets output to my html:

<th width="100%" onclick='James.Table.SortByColumn("Name",' this);="" properties.colname="Name" james.prototype.table.sortingproperties();properties.url="System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper" properties="new" var="">
            Name
        </th>

Answer 1

Without querystring:

Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path)

With querystring

Request.Url.PathAndQuery

Answer 2

This is what I used which also works to get rid of ANYTHING the right of the action.

 public static string GetParameterlessPath(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        return GetParameterlessPath(filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName,
            VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative(filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Path));
    }

    public static string GetParameterlessPath(string action, string relativeUrl)
    {
        return  relativeUrl.Contains(action) 
             ? relativeUrl.Substring(0, relativeUrl.LastIndexOf(action))+action 
             : relativeUrl;
    }

This is obviously a static method, but I put it in my ActionFilter hence where I am getting the ActionExecutingContext. If you have the action and the relativeUrl (or any url for that matter) that bottom method should work for you.

You can use Request.Url.GetLeftPart method for that. If your URL is say

http://the-site.com/controller/action?param=1

executing Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path) should give

http://the-site.com/controller/action

In code that might look like this:

<th width="100%" @Html.SortTableClickEvent(@Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path), "Name")>
