Answer 1

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';
