List of all controllers in an Area?

Question

How do i programmatically find list of all the controllers in a particular area ?

I did a Google search, but was not able to find anything relevant to it.

Since all the Controller to a particular area lies in a fixed namespace, i am thinking to find all controller that belongs in that namespace using reflection. Is there any other possible way ?

Answer 1

See Getting all types in a namespace via reflection

Can add a statement to that inner query like so...

string @namespace = "MyApp.Areas.Admin.Controllers";
var q = from t in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
        where t.IsClass && t.Namespace == @namespace 
        && typeof(t).IsSubclassOf(typeof(Controller))
        select t;
