Getting current page name on MVC Action

Question

On my MVC project I have a form on the Footer within the Layout page, I have to know on which page this form was submitted.

For example: for this URL:

http://www.test.com/myWebSite.test/home

I need the home part.

I tried that:

Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.AbsolutePath);

But I'm getting the name of the Action, for ex:

SubmitForm

I am not sure how to do it, any idea?

Are you trying to get the route to the action you've POSTed to? — maccettura, Mar 07 '17 at 16:44
What is the "current page name"? It's not clear what you mean. — DavidG, Mar 07 '17 at 16:44
@ChrisPratt I edited my question, it's not a duplicate anymore. — user3378165, Mar 07 '17 at 17:08

If you want to get the current action name or controller name try this:

string actionName = this.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString();
string controllerName = this.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();

I'm sorry but I realized that I'm not looking for the Controller name but the current page name, sorry! – user3378165 Mar 07 '17 at 17:07
Then you would likely need the Action name (the first line of code) – maccettura Mar 07 '17 at 17:09
