Getting tag for block in controller -> action

Hi!

If I have this controller and action ->

[TemplateDescriptor(AvailableWithoutTag = false, Inherited = true, Tags = new string[] { "Tag1", "Tag2" })]
    public class MyBlockController : BlockController<MyBlock>
    {
        [ChildActionOnly]
        public override ActionResult Index(MyBlock currentBlock)
        {
                // How can I get what Tag this block has?
            return PartialView(currentBlock);
        }
    }

How can I, in code, get the tag this block is using in my action? I'm using the 7.5 - Display as feature so I want to know if it is full width, half width and so on. I've searched the web but been unable to find anything.
I know I can create a new controller and action and limiting the tags for each of theese and theryby knowing the tag but it seems overkill.

Thanks!

Tested with AlloyTech:

public override ActionResult Index(ContactBlock currentBlock)
{
    var renderSettings = RouteData.Values["renderSettings"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
    if (renderSettings != null && renderSettings.ContainsKey("tag"))
    {
        var tag = renderSettings["tag"] as string;
    }
	...
}

Hope it helps
