  I am sorry, I was not able to understand your question but still, I think I would give you the Idea.

  The RenderBody() is used to render the main code for the body element of the page that is using the Layout specified. Something like this 

  Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml"; // startersite layout

  Then in the Layout file, you'll find this code.

  <div id="body">
     @RenderBody()
  </div>

  That is the part where the entire of the BODY element content is placed, You cannot tell the Script to get the Page for you. Somehow, you can use this trick.

  var pageUrl = Request.Url;

  This would get the URL for you in this format

  [pageUrl: "http://localhost:xxxx/your_page"]

  You can always extract the value for the your_page from the URL that you're having. That way you can get to know, which page is being utilized here.

  You can use the VirtualPath property. The following will give you the current file's virtual path:

  this.VirtualPath;

  Ok. Please how do I extract that portion of the url so as to exclude the host name and folders

  You can use System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.ToString()). That will give you the file name that was requested but not the name of a the file used as  RenderPage, or didn't you want that?

  Request.Url.ToString().Split(new[]{'/'}).ElementAt(Request.Url.ToString().Split(new[]{'/'}).Length -2)
