Improve manipulation of MVC action URLs
This tip will prevent us from having to manipulate strings. Therefore :
- It reduces mistakes in controller/action names and
RouteValueDictionary
keys - It allows to type strongly parameters (and convert if needed) that will be add to
RouteValueDictionary
values - It makes refactoring and renaming operations easier and safer.

We will implement a MvcAction
class containing the information needed to point to an action.
Add extension methods for UrlHelper and HtmlHelper
We then add extension methods for UrlHelper
and HtmlHelper
to support MvcAction
objects

We create static class ControllerUrlHelper for each Controller to centralized MVC action :
(In this case for ContactController
)
Example of use :
In layout main menu
In table
