Execute code before/after every controller action

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC application for which I want to log events. I have already a Log class with all the tools I need, but I have to instantiate and to close it explicitly

Answer 1

If the other suggestions don't work or if you need to do things other than just logging also be aware that you can override the OnActionExecuting method (often in a base class for reuse).

// Custom controller.
public class CustomController : Controller
{
    protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        // Do whatever here...
    }
}

// Home controller.
public class HomeController : CustomController
{
    // Action methods here...
}
