Get name of area in controller

Question

Is their a way to get the name of the Area in a controller (programmatically)?

Following doesn't seem to work:

String currentArea = ControllerContext.RouteData.DataTokens["area"].ToString();

Answer 1

We can get it from RouteData:

var areaName = string.Empty;
object area = null;
if (RouteData.Values.TryGetValue("area", out area))
{
    areaName = area.ToString();
}
