Get name of current controller and action in MVC

Use this.RouteData.Values(“action”) and this.RouteData.Values(“controller”) for getting name of current controller and action in MVC instead of going through the ValueProvider. The RouteData contains information on the request / route (including controller and action), and the value provider contains information used for binding.

Example of ValueProvider:

string controllername = this.ValueProvider.GetValue("controller").RawValue.ToString();
string actionname = this.ValueProvider.GetValue("action").RawValue.ToString();
