In MVC3, how to get the current action name?

Question

Is there a way to use HttpContext or the View context to get the current action name?

I can get the controller name using

    var routeValues = Http         


        

Answer 1

var routeValues = HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values;
if (routeValues != null) 
{
    if (routeValues.ContainsKey("action"))
    {
        var actionName = routeValues["action"].ToString();
    }
}
