Problem
I need to retrieve the name of a single view inside a `views\something` folder (comes from request) within MVC 4.0 and I'm not sure of how best to do it. My code works but it has a 'hacky' feel to it and I was hoping someone could be simplified. My code looks like: ``` private FileInfo GetNameOfViewToServe() { var LeftPartOfUri = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority); var folder = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(LeftPartOfFolderUri,string.Empty); var directory = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(@"~\Views\" + folder)); return directory.GetFiles().First(); } ``` Is there a more elegant way to achieve this?
