This code is inside the master page:

<li><a href="<%=Url.Action("Action", "Controller") %>">Main site link</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=Url.Action("AreaAction", "AreaController", new {area = "Area"}) %>">Area link</a></li>

All the links works good till I’m going to the Area Link. When I go there all the routes of the main area don’t work.

To fix that I can use this:

<li><a href="<%=Url.Action("Action", "Controller", new {area = ""}) %>">Main site link</a></li>

My question is, is there a way to avoid , new {area = ""} on every link in the to the main site?

Its very annoying to have this on every link on the site.

    Url actions are relative to the location of the link. So new {area = ""} is not telling the Url.Action call that there is no area, it’s telling it to use the root area. If you omit new {area = ""} from the Url.Action call it will try to create a url for the specified action within the specified controller within the current area (the “Area” are in your case).

    Therefore it is unavoidable if you want to link from a subarea to the root area.
