I know that I can use the filterContext to get to it. However, this is not very flexible if the action method parameter is named differently. This should work: [HttpGet] [NewAuthoriseAttribute(SomeId = id)] public ActionResult Index(int id) { ... public class NewActionFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { public int SomeId { get; set; } ... but it does not (it does not even compile). Any ideas? Building on the answer from @Pankaj and comments from @csetzkorn: You pass the name of the parameter as a string then check the filterContext public class NewAuthoriseAttribute :

Now I've seen some questions like this, but it's not exactly what I want to ask, so for all those screaming duplicate, I apologize :). I've barely touched ASP.NET MVC but from what I understand there is no ViewState/ControlState... fine. So my question is what is the alternative to retaining a control's state? Do we go back to old school ASP where we might simulate what ASP.NET ViewState/ControlState does by creating hidden form inputs with the control's state, or with MVC, do we just assume AJAX always and retain all state client-side and make AJAX calls to update? This question has some

I have problem where I can't apply the style in CSS in my ASP.NET MVC application. The behavior is it applies for the first time and then the subsequent changes to the CSS is not getting reflected in my _Layout.cshtml. I am not sure what I am missing here. CSS file body { font-size: .85em; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; color: #232323; background-color: #fff; } header, footer, nav, section { display: block; } /* Styles for basic forms -----------------------------------------------------------*/ fieldset { border:1px solid #ddd; padding:0 1.4em 1.4em 1.4em; margin

I have a problem with an ASP.NET MVC site. These are the details: ASP.NET MVC 2 ASP.NET 4 integrated pipeline IIS 7.5 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2 Whenever I make a request for the app I get the "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found"-error and the detailed error information shows it is the static file handler that reports the error: Module: IIS Web Core Notification: MapRequestHandler Handler: StaticFile Error Code: 0x80070002 meaning that the request never entered the MVC stack. I should note that the IIS already serves a ASP.NET MVC 3 on the same app pool and a MVC 2 on a ASP.ENT 2 app pool. So it

I'd like to have a single action respond to both Gets as well as Posts. I tried the following [HttpGet] [HttpPost] public ActionResult SignIn() That didn't seem to work. Any suggestions ? This is possible using the AcceptVerbs attribute. Its a bit more verbose but more flexible. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get|HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult SignIn() { } More on msdn . Actions respond to both GETs and POSTs by default, so you don't have to specify anything: public ActionResult SignIn() { //how'd we get here? string method = HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod; return View(); } Depending on your

I want to store extra information in the authenticated user so that I can have it easily accessible (like User.Identity.Id, for example), instead of just the name, since I'm planning on having that non-unique. So far I've gathered that I should look to implement custom Principal and/or Identity, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I've been looking for documentation and tutorials on the matter, but I've found related stuff in different places and I've found it a bit confusing. I have seen how to add custom info to the authentication cookie in the user data property, but I'd like to have the
