Can I nest areas in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I want the follow URLs in my MVC application:

/Admin/Accounts/Groups
/Admin/Accounts/Users

I know I could create an Area named Admin, and then create Groups and Users controllers inside that area.

Could I instead create nested areas? (An Area named Admin, and inside of this area an Area named Accounts)

To accomplish your desired URL above, just specify it in the route configuration of your "Admin" area like this:

public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
    context.MapRoute(
        "Admin_default",
        "Admin/Accounts/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

No need to create Groups or Users controllers.
