Found this http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharplanguage/thread/66a7dc8d-f276-4d45-8da4-f8d9857db52c/ which seems to be what I am looking for - the question now is how to incorporate this into my razor view? If, say, I add the above into some of my helper classes, should I add a reference of that to my view and then use this test in the view?

I think this is what I am going to try.
