Question

if i have an route like /foo/bar/pewpew .. is it possible to get an instance of the controller which that route maps too?

Answer 1

To get the controller name, you can call create a fake HttpContextBase that returns your URL in its Request, then pass it to RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData and check the area and controller values.

To get the controller instance, pass a RequestContext consisting of that HttpContextBase and RouteData to ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory.CreateController.
