Given the following URL: http://www.domain.com/Client
is it possible to access the Route Data in a controller to determine which Controller/Action that is bound to?

You can but it completely depends on where you want to access that data from..controller, authorize attribute, global.asax file...?Tommy– Tommy2013-04-15 19:03:56 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 19:03

Ok, so I have got to ask...if you are in a controller...wouldn't you already know what controller you are in? Just trying to understand the logic you are trying to achieve.Tommy– Tommy2013-04-15 19:08:13 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 19:08

No, because it's a partial action for my navigation.Mike Cole– Mike Cole2013-04-15 19:09:54 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 19:09

1I found the above that speaks to what you are trying to do. You will need to replace the fully qualified URL that you are trying to trace back to just a relative URL thoughTommy– Tommy2013-04-15 20:54:50 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 20:54

It should be pretty simple to determine the controller from the RouteData dictionary, passing the key that you are looking for.
namespace UI.Controllers
{
[Authorize]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Home/
public ActionResult Index()
{
var controllerName = RouteData.Values["controller"];
//controllerName == "Home" at this point
var actionName = RouteData.Values["action"];
//actionName == "Index" at this point
return View("Index");
}
}
}
EDIT
I have found some information regarding how to do this here: but, you will need to change your absolute URLs back to relative URLs before you can run them through the solution provided.

This shows the route for the current request. I need to lookup a URL.
