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

ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"]

As far as I know, ViewContext.RouteData.Values will never be null and will always have the keys "controller" and "action". Please correct me if I am wrong.
