I'm new to ASP.NET Core and still have following questions:

1. Where should I put ConfigureServices method?

How can I inject the IActionContextAccessor and use it in my custom helper CHGridTable and other helpers?

public static class HtmlHelperExt{
    private static IHttpContextAccessor _httpContextAccessor;
    private static IUrlHelperFactory _urlHelperFactory;
    public static void SetHttpContextAccessor(IHttpContextAccessor  accessor, IUrlHelperFactory urlHelperFactory) {
        _httpContextAccessor = accessor;
        _urlHelperFactory = urlHelperFactory;
    }

    public static IHtmlString CHGridTable<tmodel>(this HtmlHelper<tmodel> htmlHelper, DataTable dt, object htmlAttributes = null)
    {
            var urlHelper = _urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper(_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext);
            string urlEdit = urlHelper.RouteUrl("Default");
            //rest of the stuff here
    }
}

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection service) {

    services.AddMvc();

    //this would have been done by the framework any way after this method call;
    //in this case you call the BuildServiceProvider manually to be able to use it
    var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

    //here is where you set you accessor and url helper factory
    var accessor = serviceProvider.GetService<IHttpContextAccessor>()
    var userHelperFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<IUrlHelperFactory>()
    HtmlHelperExt.SetHttpContextAccessor(accessor,userHelperFactory);

  
}

var urlHelper = _urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper(_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext);

Argument 1: cannot convert from 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.HttpContext' to 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ActionContext'

private static IActionContextAccessor _actionContextAccessor;
private static IUrlHelperFactory _urlHelperFactory;
public static void SetHttpContextAccessor(IActionContextAccessor accessor, IUrlHelperFactory urlHelperFactory) {
    _actionContextAccessor = accessor;
    _urlHelperFactory = urlHelperFactory;
}

var urlHelper = _urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper(_actionContextAccessor.ActionContext);

var accessor = serviceProvider.GetService<IActionContextAccessor>()
var userHelperFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<IUrlHelperFactory>()
HtmlHelperExt.SetHttpContextAccessor(accessor,userHelperFactory);

public static IHtmlContent CHGridTable<TModel>(this IHtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, DataTable dt, object htmlAttributes = null)
{
    var urlHelperFactory = (IUrlHelperFactory)htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(IUrlHelperFactory));            
    var urlHelper = urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext);
    string urlEdit = url.RouteUrl("Default");
    ...
}

Error CS0411 The type arguments for method 'HtmlHelperExt.CHGridTable<TModel>(HtmlHelper<TModel>, DataTable, object)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.
