Hi folks, i have this code which I doesn't seem to work in my copy of VS2010 B2 / VS2010 RC. var areaName = controllerContext.RouteData.GetAreaName(); (originally sourced from here).

I'm currently building a CMS system, and I need to have an easy way include or exclude components. My first think was to use asp.net mvc area feature, to identified each component on itself.

I want to know how, from a controller action, I could identify the area in which the controller is in via the MVC framework (I mean, without making all controllers in a given area inherit from a base controller with that info). I'm particularly interested in the case of child actions (controller actions rendered via RenderAction), the ...
