Getting the name of the current controller and action in ASP.NET MVC
I have been trying get the name of the current controller and action in ASP.NET MVC, and have found a nice way to do so. Let’s see how to do this.
Although it’s not that nicely implemented in the framework, you can easily find this info by inspecting the ValueProvider like this:
string controllername = ValueProvider.GetValue("controller").RawValue.ToString();
string actionname = ValueProvider.GetValue("action").RawValue.ToString();
It’s not type safe and may change in future versions of ASP.NET MVC, but it works for now. Just keep an eye out for future changes.
