Get current controller in view

Question

I have a View - _Edit which lives in News M/V/C.

I reuse the V/M via the CategoryController as:

r         


        

Answer 1

Create base class for all controllers and put here name attribute:

public abstract class MyBaseController : Controller
{
    public abstract string Name { get; }
}

In view

@{
    var controller = ViewContext.Controller as MyBaseController;
    if (controller != null)
    {
       @controller.Name
    }
}

Controller example

 public class SampleController: MyBaseController 
    { 
      public override string Name { get { return "Sample"; } 
    }
