What is Area in ASP.NET MVC?

Areas was introduced in Asp.net MVC2 which allow us to organize models, views, and controllers into separate functional sections of the application, such as administration, billing, customer support, and so on. This is very helpful in a large web application, where all the controllers, views, and models have a single set of folders and that become difficult to manage.

Each MVC area has its own folder structure which allow us to keep separate controllers, views, and models. This also helps the multiple developers to work on the same web application without interfere to one another.
