How can you access RouteData from the code-behind?

When using ASP.Net routing, how can you get the RouteData from the code-behind?

I know you can get it from the GetHttpHander method of the RouteHandler (you get handed the RequestContext), but can you get this from the code-behind?

Is there anything like...

RequestContext.Current.RouteData.Values["whatever"];

...that you can access globally, like you can do with HttpContext?

Or is it that RouteData is only meant to be accessed from inside the RouteHandler?

You could also use the following:

//using System.Web;
HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData

You can use the following:

RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current));

  [HttpGet]
  [Route("{countryname}/getcode/")]
  public string CountryPhonecode()
  {
     // Get routdata by key, in our case it is countryname
     var countryName = Request.GetRouteData().Values["countryname"].ToString();
     
     // your method
     return GetCountryCodeByName(string countryName);
  }

I think you need to create a RouteHandler then you can push the values into HTTPContext during the GetHttpHandler event.

foreach (var urlParm in requestContext.RouteData.Values) {
    requestContext.HttpContext.Items[urlParm.Key] = urlParm.Value;
}
