asp.net mvc action result and count question

I am working on a plugin based architecture. Its kind of social networking site. For a user, I can have pictures, blogs, videos. but they all come from modules. So, when you visit a user profile, you see tabs, saying pictures, videos and other things. I have an interface

public interface IUserContent
{
    UserContent GetContent(long id);


}
public class UserContent
{
   public int Count {get;set;}
   public string URL {get;set;
   public string Text {get;set;

}

So, if a photos module implements IUserContent it will look like this

publi开发者_StackOverflow中文版c class UserPhotos : IUserContent
{
  public UserContent GetContent(long id)
  {

     return new UserContent { 
               Count = SomeRepository.GetPhotosCountByUser(id), 
               URL =  string.format("/photos/byuser/{0}",id) ,
               Text ="Photos"  };

 }
}

This URL is an action method in Photos Controller.

On my profile page i get all the implementations of IUserContent

var list =  GetAllOf(IUserContent);

and render them using foreach loop as tabs on user profile page.

Now, my question is, is there any better way to do it. I dont want to use URL as string. Or any better practise to achieve it.

Yes.

Replace URL = string.format("/photos/byuser/{0}",id) with:

URL = Url.Action("ByUser", "Photo", new { id })

If you wish to generate a url whereby your action is called ByUser and accepts an id as argument and your controller is called PhotoController; or use:

URL = Url.RouteUrl("PhotosByUser", new { id })

If you wish to generate your url derived from a route called PhotosByUser.
