Reuse an MVC area in multiple MVC applications?

I have some common web pages that will be in multiple MVC applications. For those pages I'开发者_如何转开发d like to reuse the same source code (controllers + views) between the different MVC web sites. What is the best way to go about doing this?

ASP.NET MVC areas seem like one possibility but they just a sub directory of the website project. Is it possible to reuse an MVC area in multiple MVC applications?

You could embed views into assemblies and implement a custom VirtualPathProvider.

Look at "portable areas."
