I have an AREA called "Admin"

It uses the same layout page as the rest of my site. In the layout page I have

 @Html.Action("MyMethod", "MyController", null)

MyController is not in the Admin area but at the root/controllers folder when I go to any page in side the AREA I get the following execption

"The controller for path '/admin/home' was not found or does not implement IController"
