Get Current Area Name in View or Controller

Question

How do you get the current area name in the view or controller?

Is there anything like ViewContext.RouteData.Values[\"controller\"] for areas?

Answer 1

I dont know why but accepted answer is not working. It returns null with e.g ( maybe about mvc, i use .net core )

http://localhost:5000/Admin/CustomerGroup

I always debug the variable and fetch data from in it.

Try this. It works for me

var area = ViewContext.RouteData.Values["area"]

Detailed logical example

Layout = ViewContext.RouteData.Values["area"] == null ? "_LayoutUser" : "_LayoutAdmin";
