Get the MVC controller name in Javascript function

Question

I have a Jquery CRUD function; which is called from several Controllers actions. Is there any way to find out which contoller is tiggering that function.

For Example; function call from View:

$('a.Edit-Icon').live("click", function (event) { 
  editDialog(this, event, '#_List'); 
});

Function parameters:

function editDialog(tag, event, target,value)
{
  ------
  // How to get the Controller name ???????????

}

Thanks in advance.....

The way I've been doing stuff like this is to put the partial url information in a data- attribute from the model when I build the view that I can read later using JQuery. — jfrankcarr

You can get controller's name in javascript this way using razor:

var controllerName = '@ViewContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString()';

Or

var controllerName='@HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString()';

Update:

You can also get controller's name this way:

var controllerName = '@ViewContext.Controller.ValueProvider.GetValue("controller").RawValue';
