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

You can use any of the below code to get the controller name

@HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();

If you are using MVC 3 you can use

@ViewContext.Controller.ValueProvider.GetValue("controller").RawValue
