I know to start using areas, you have to establish parent/child relationships. I have a couple areas setup and their controllers are hitting just fine, the problem is some Views are not found. I'm trying to gain an understanding of what's happening to my controllers that are not happening with my Views.
I'm very familiar with MSDN's link but I'm still having a disconnect: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee307987%28VS.100%29.aspx
My guess is that maybe it is something to do with the routes. Check to make sure you a registering all of your routes correctly (There's a couple extra things you need to account for when you are using Areas).
Phil Haack wrote a great blog entry on Areas, which may help with your problem.
Edit: Download the ASP.NET MVC source and step through the code to see where it is breaking. This should let you know exactly where the issue is.
Total user error, I ended up creating a new area and forgot to uncomment the child area in the project code behind. Sorry for the mislead! Make sure to uncomment your parent and children area projects!
Thought I'd add a little more for those of you experimenting with areas. Please check out the end of my posts here:
