ASP.net partial view relative action links

Is there a way to have action links which are relative to the current view.

For example, lets say I have a partial view which is a contains a paged list of news articles called _ArticlesList. I want to include this in the Admin and Index views, which are controlled by their relative controllers. _ArticlesList produces URLs which have the routeValues pageNumber and pageSize, but you have to hard code the controller, don't you?

I think what I want to do is just override properties in the routeValue object?

Edit: I guess I could use HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString() but that looks pretty bad

I used this to achieve what I wanted

public static class UrlHelperExtensions
{
    public static string RelativeAction(this UrlHelper url, object routeValues)
    {
        var routeDataValues = url.RequestContext.RouteData.Values;
        var queryString = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString;

        foreach (string key in queryString.Keys)
        {
            routeDataValues[key] = queryString[key];
        }

        // Allow routeValue object to take precedence over queryString
        foreach (var prop in new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues))
        {
            routeDataValues[prop.Key] = prop.Value;
        }
        return url.RouteUrl(routeDataValues);
    }
}

If you want to upload in For EX. Index file then write following to implement in your cshtml.

<div>
    @Html.Partial("_ArticleList", Model)
</div>

You can put this in any div tag.
