Get ASP.NET MVC area in Global.asax

Question

Is there a way to get the ASP.NET MVC area in the global.asax, specficially the method below?

public override string GetVaryByCustomString(HttpContext context, string arg)
        {
            if (arg.ToLower() == "username" && context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) return context.User.Identity.Name;
       
            return base.GetVaryByCustomString(context, arg);
        }

It seems you're going to employ strange logic in your application. Let us know the main purpose to suggest a better and more logical solution followed by correct design patterns in an Asp.net web application. — Amirhossein Mehrvarzi, May 15 '21 at 07:08
Please describe more. What type of clearing? Your code doesn't show sth like clearing a cache. — Amirhossein Mehrvarzi, May 15 '21 at 11:41
Sorry, As a 10 year Asp.net developer, I can't understand what you mean ! Describe more, otherwise no more help from me — Amirhossein Mehrvarzi, May 15 '21 at 11:45

I went ahead and used this, perfect `context.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.DataTokens["area"]` – Mike Flynn May 15 '21 at 12:26
