MVC, Get MasterPage path from inside a view

Question

How can i get the path of the MasterPage from inside a view, I tought that

((WebFormView)Html.ViewContext.View).MasterPath

would do the trick, but unfortunately, it's always empty.

so how do I get it?

I'm nto sure what you need exactly, but the View should have a MasterPageFile property that contains the relative path to the MasterPage. You can use MapPath if you need the physical location.

<%= this.MasterPageFile %>

<%= MapPath( this.MasterPageFile ) %>
