Detect View or PartialView in controller

Question

In a controller can I detect if I'm "controlling" a View or a partial view?

I have a shared controller that sits between any controller and Controller, there are things I would only like to happen if its a View rather than a partial view.

Ideally in protected override ViewResult View(...

Thanks, Nath

Answer 1

Have a different route for each. /home/about and /home/about/partial that both are routed to the same controller method. Basically, rather than trying to sniff around for things, EXPRESS it explicitly, through a route, or parameter.
