There is an issue about this solution. In-case if you have controllers with the same name in some Areas, you will face a problem.

Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Company'. This can happen if the route that services this request does not specify namespaces to search for a controller that matches the request. If this is the case, register this route by calling an overload of the 'MapRoute' method that takes a 'namespaces' parameter.

The request for 'Company' has found the following matching controllers:
NPIIS.Web.MVC.Areas.ControlPanel.Controllers.CompanyController
NPIIS.Web.MVC.Controllers.CompanyController

var controller = ControllerBuilder.Current <= PROBLEM

SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM:

//var context = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
//var routeData = new RouteData();
//var requestContext = new RequestContext(context, routeData);
var requestContext = HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext;
