How can I return the current action in an ASP.NET MVC view?

Question

I wanted to set a CSS class in my master page, which depends on the current controller and action. I can get to the current controller via ViewContext.Controller.GetTy

Answer 1

You can get these data from RouteData of a ViewContext

ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"]
ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"]
