  <p>This relates to this question and answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/9502480/8741">How to create ASP.Net MVC Web API Url?</a></p>
  
  <p>I have a fresh, new MVC project with everything still as generated by the project template, except for one new Area called Admin. In this area I have ClientApiController and ClientController, and in view Client/Index I am trying a URL as described in the answer I link to, with the extra 'area' value.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Url.RouteUrl("DefaultApi", new { httproute = "", area = "Admin", controller = "Client" })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the area part isn't working and I still get 'resource not found'. What am I doing wrong?</p>
