ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext in asp.net core

Question

How can I access ParentActionViewContext in Asp.Net Core, I used following commands, but in core they are not available. ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();, ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext.ViewBag.Model as MyViewModel

I was not able to find anything regarding these due to scarcity of information on .Net Core.

Thanks in advance.

• To get route data, you need to use ControllerContext.ActionDescriptor instead of ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext now:

  ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext.RouteValues.Values;
  

• Regarding getting Model. Controller class has own properties:

  public dynamic ViewBag { get; }
  public ViewDataDictionary ViewData { get; set; }
  

  so you may use

  var myModel = this.ViewData.Model as MyViewModel;
