Asp.net MVC / MVC2

Question

This script works well in MVC 1, however I get "invalid arguments error" in MVC2: this.menuItems.Add("action", Html.ActionLink("action", "view", "Controller"));

What is the class type of menuitems

In MVC2, ActionLink returns an MvcHtmlString, and menuItems.Add likely expects a string. So this should work:

this.menuItems.Add("action",
  Html.ActionLink("action", "view", "Controller").ToString());

Does anyone else find it strange that MvcHtmlString doesn't include an implicit conversion operator for string?

@user373721. No problem. (May I ask that you mark it as the answer. Thanks.)

How can I do that, I searched but did not find an answer, thanks

@Jordan that was a concious decision. Implicit conversion operators can be confusing and we wanted to enforce the difference between encoded and unencoded html strings.

@user373721. It's a checkbox underneath the vote control. No prob if you can't find it.
