Is there a way to get a list of views for a controller?

Question

Using the code found here, I have managed to get a list of controllers in my mvc site (and can do whatever I want with that list) but I need to also get a list of views for each controller. Is there a way to do this?

Edit: To clarify, I'm looking to do this at run-time in order to get the views dynamically.

Views. Or, alternatively, all actions which return views. But the views are ultimately what I'm after. — user4593252, Aug 26 '14 at 13:40
If... you have sticked to the conventions, the views of a controller are located in ~/views/{controller}. System.IO has some goodies for that case — lboshuizen, Aug 26 '14 at 13:53
Views are not directly linked to controllers. By default they are located using conventions but you can specify a specific view by path as well. As Iboshuizen said, you can always enumerate the files in a directory. — Grax32, Aug 26 '14 at 14:49
I thought as much but I was hoping... Thanks for the confirmation. (put it as an answer) — user4593252, Aug 26 '14 at 15:40

you can use Roslyn to build a tool that will analyze your syntax for return View() statements.

but if you you use one function called ReturnViewByCondition(condition), Roslyn will consider it as a single result.

I see also the way to calculate Views file count in Controller folder, but it significantly depend on your ViewEngine implementation.

So, in most generic way, I would say "no", you can not have this statistics without siginifcant efforts in static analysis automation
