Mocking HtmlHelper in ASP.NET MVC 2 and 3 using Moq

Still having trouble mocking HtmlHelper? This is an update to my previous post on mocking HtmlHelper way back when ASP.NET MVC RC1 was released. Eric notified me through a comment on the post and a question on StackOverflow that the code for ASP.NET MVC RC1 did not work with ASP.NET MVC 2. The code in this post should work with ASP.NET MVC 2 and ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1.

	public static HtmlHelper CreateHtmlHelper(ViewDataDictionary vd)
	{
	Mock mockViewContext = new Mock(
	new ControllerContext(
	new Mock().Object,
	new RouteData(),
	new Mock().Object),
	new Mock().Object,
	vd,
	new TempDataDictionary(),
	new Mock().Object);
	var mockViewDataContainer = new Mock();
	mockViewDataContainer.Setup(v => v.ViewData)
	.Returns(vd);
	return new HtmlHelper(mockViewContext.Object,
	mockViewDataContainer.Object);
	}
