Combining regular MVC and Umbraco

Extending Umbraco

Umbraco 7
Hi all,

I have an Umbraco website and I'd like to add a regular MVC page to it. So I've mapped attribute routing, so I can map to my controller actions and it all works fine.
```
    public void OnApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();      
    }
```
So, what I did was create a simple layout:
```
@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Website - /title>
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
```
Which works fine, only not (obviously) when I want to access the CurrentPage object, since it makes no sense to the regular MVC page.

Only, now I'm stuck. What I'd like to do is the following:

Create a BaseViewModel, with a couple of properties (e.q title, meta tag), which checks if they are available in Umbraco (trough CurrentPage?) or if the CurrentPage is not available takes uses a value which I set in the property:

For example (what I'd want):
```
@model BaseViewModel
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Website - Model.Name/title>
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
```
And something like this (makes no sense, since CurrentPage is not a property in BaseViewModel, but I don't know how to pass it to it either.
```
public class BaseViewModel
{
  public string Name
  {
    get
    {
      return CurrentPage == null ? "MyValue" : CurrentPage.Name; 
    }

  }
}
```
Thanks in advance!
