ASP.NET Controller instance from View is null

When I try to get HomeController from View, it's always null, why ? Is it because I use CodeBehind (see my full source code Why my button click handler in codebehind is not called? )

public partial class Index : System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<dynamic>
    {


        HomeController HomeController;



        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            HomeController = (HomeController)HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["HomeController"];

You could get the current controller from the ViewContext. It has a Controller property:

var currentController = ViewContext.Controller;

and if you know for sure that it's gonna be HomeController you could cast it:

var homeController = (HomeController)ViewContext.Controller;

This being said, I am not sure what exactly are you trying to achieve and why on Earth does your view has code behind, but this stinks from very far.
