I found this question Can't use relative paths with areas in ASP.NET MVC 2 which is the same issue I am having. Is this still the case in MVC3? Is there a way to keep content files in an area relative to the area? So that a layout file in an area can have something like Without having to either make a fully qualified link, requiring the areas directory and the area name or the solution of the above question which requires a check for each area on each request. update/edit I've decided to use both the solution in the above question and the one below (html helper) - depending on the project

I've an Admin area and I want only Admins to enter the area. I considered adding the Authorized attribute to every controller in the Admin area. Isn't there an elegant solution or is this feature not there in the framework itself? EDIT: I'm sorry, I should to have mentioned this before. I'm using a custom AuthorizedAttribute derived from AuthorizeAttribute. Web.config-based security should almost never be used in an MVC application.
