accessing HttpContext.Request in a controller's constructor

Question

I\'m following this ASP.NET MVC tutorial from Microsoft:

My code is slightly different, where I\'m trying to access HttpContext.Request.IsAuthenticated

Answer 1

I would suggest you use:

 System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request

Just remember System.Web.HttpContext.Current is threadstatic, but if you don't use additional thread the solution works.
