Umbraco 4.11 MVC Mode - Children Url?

What is the correct way to obtain the URLs of children of the current node while using Umbraco 4.11 in MVC mode? This is what I tried and it keeps returning a blank URL:

@if (CurrentPage.Children().Count() > 0) {
    <ul>
    @foreach (var child in CurrentPage.Children()) {
        <li><a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a></li>
    }
    </ul>
}

When that didn't work I resorted to the following:

@Umbraco.NiceUrl(child.Id)

This returns a URL, but it has .aspx extension on it. So my next hack is...

@Umbraco.NiceUrl(child.Id).Replace(".aspx", "")

That's not completely terrible, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something?

Other way to get Only Node Name (Without .aspx) is

@Model.NodeById(@child.Id).urlName

But it will just give Node name without "/"

I can't add this as a comment, but there is a way to remove trailing slashes, in umbracoSettings.config: 

<addTrailingSlash>true</addTrailingSlash>

You need the NiceUrl() method to generate a valid Url. To get rid of the .aspx extension, you need to set the setting "umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" to true in your web.config file:

<add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" />
