I read several examples on the web which use the following code:

Private Function SomeFunction(ByVal htmlhelper As HtmlHelper) As String
    Dim controller As Controller = htmlhelper.ViewContext.Controller

    If controller IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim vname as String = htmlhelper.ViewContext.ViewName 'This doesnt work
    End If
End Function

ViewContext does not have a member called ViewName. Am I missing something?

It looks like ViewName was removed during the betas. Here's two work-arounds:
