make TypeHelper support IDictionary<string,Object> or RouteValueDictionary

[sdwdjzhy]

In using HtmlHelper.ActionLink, AjaxHelper.AjaxForm, or other functions that use the route parameter, I find that the route parameter does not support passing IDictionary<string, Object>or RouteValue Dictionary. Additionally, additionalViewData parameter used by HtmlHelper.Editor does not support access to IDictionary<string, Object> or RouteValue Dictionary. I looked at the source code, which should be TypeHelper.ObjectToDictionary

Perhaps you should consider adding the following code

 public static RouteValueDictionary ObjectToDictionary(object value)
        {
            if(value == null)
            {
                return new RouteValueDictionary();
            }
            if(value is RouteValueDictionary)
            {
                return value as RouteValueDictionary;
            }
            if(value is IDictionary<string,object>)
            {
                return new RouteValueDictionary(value as IDictionary<string, object>);
            }

            RouteValueDictionary dictionary = new RouteValueDictionary();

            if (value != null)
            {
                foreach (PropertyHelper helper in PropertyHelper.GetProperties(value))
                {
                    dictionary.Add(helper.Name, helper.GetValue(value));
                }
            }

            return dictionary;
        }
