I'm trying to execute a Redirect from a method attribute. It seems to work: public class MyAttribute: ActionFilterAttribute { [..] public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { [..] filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect(urlToRedirectTo, true); [..] The only problem is that the redirect is executed after the end of the method it's attached to, while i'd like the redirect to prevent the execution of the method. Any help? Thanks You can prevent execution of the action method by assigning an ActionResult to filterContext.Result. For example: filterContext

For some reason, when certain bots visit the site, generating a url with the UrlHelper.Action method raises a null exception from System.Web.HttpServerVarsCollection.Get . I've done some debugging and the call stack originiates with an attempt to get the 'HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL' from the HttpContextBase.Request.ServerVariables collection. If I visit the same address directly from a browser - no problem. The page is server and no error is logged. It only seems to occur when visited by a bot. Not sure if it's relevant or not, but the site was just migrated to IIS 7.5. Still using .NET 2.0 in

I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in Views\Shared. This has been working great for displaying things like session or cookie information. Instead of just accessing cookies, I would like to pass additional parameters to Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") so the action can execute different code based on the the data passed to the original view. Should I be using a different method to pass parameters to a child action in a different controller? How would one accomplish this? Roberto

I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to properly implement my 404 redirecting. If I use the following <HandleError()> _ Public Class BaseController : Inherits System.Web.Mvc.Controller ''# do stuff End Class Then any unhandled error on the page will load up the "Error" view which works great. http://example.com/user/999 (where 999 is an invalid User ID) will throw an error while maintaining the original URL (this is what I want) However. If someone enters http://example.com/asdfjkl into the url (where asdfjkl is an invalid controller), then IIS is throwing the generic 404 page. (this

I want to display a string type as checkbox on MVC view, but returns it as string type on HTTP post. The problem is that it returns false on HTTP Post. Below is my code: View: @model List<Car> foreach(var car in Model){ bool isFourWheel = false; if(bool.TryParse(car.IsFourWheel, out isFourWheel){ @Html.CheckBox("IsFourWheel", isFourWheel); //need to be rendered as checkbox, but returns string type on HTTP POST } } Model: public class Car { public string IsFourWheel { get; set; } //bad naming, but it can contain any type, include boolean } Controller: public ActionResult Index() { var cars =

I know this has to be a duplicate, but I've been wading through the hordes of information on this and I can't get it work. I'm trying to get a site working on a client's server and they have the site installed in a virtual directory. I don't have this setup, locally, so I'm flying blind here. I'm trying to build a path to an image. (it's for Facebook OpenGraph Meta data). I need the path to the image to be a fully-qualified, absolute url. I've tried so many things, but nothing seems to work. The code below outputs a relative url, but this will not work. <% var urlHelper = VirtualPathUtility
