How can I get the route name in controller in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

ASP.NET MVC routes have names when mapped:

routes.MapRoute(
    \"Debug\", // Route name -- how can I use this later????
    \"debug/{controller}/{action}/{i

This does not directly answer the question (if you want to be pedantic); however, the real objective seems to be to get a route's base URL, given a route name. So, this is how I did it:

My route was defined in RouteConfig.cs as:

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "MyRoute",
            url: "Cont/Act/{blabla}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Cont", action = "Act"}
        );

And to get the route's base URL:

var myRoute = Url.RouteUrl("MyRoute", new { blabla = "blabla" }).Replace("blabla", "");

It gave me the route's base URL that I wanted:

/Cont/Act/

Hope this helps.
