ASP.NET MVC `Html.ActionLink` between “Areas”

Question

I have added a new Area to my MVC3 project and I am trying to link from the _Layout page to the new Area. I have added an Area called \'Admin\' that has a controller \'Meets\'.<

Verify that your AdminAreaRegistration class looks like this:

public class AdminAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
    public override string AreaName
    {
        get
        {
            return "Admin";
        }
    }

    public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
    {
        context.MapRoute(
            "Admin_default",
            "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

and that you have this in Global.asax.cs:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    ... // ViewEngine Registration
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
    ... // Other route registration
}
