controller-action

I'm looking for a way to enforce a controller's action to be accessed only via an AJAX request. What is the best way to do this before the action method is called? I want to refactor the following from my action methods: if(Request.IsAjaxRequest()) // Do something else // return an error of some sort What I'm envisioning is an ActionMethodSelectorAttribute that can be used like the [AcceptVerbs] attribute. I have no experience crating such a custom attribute though. bmancini Create an ActionFilter that fires OnActionExecuting public class AjaxActionFilter : ActionFilterAttribute { public

I want to setup a custom nested controller actions but I can't figure out the routing. I keep getting the following error No route matches [GET] "/assets" routes.rb resources :companies do resources :requests do match :accept end end index.html.rb <% @requests.each do |request| %> <ul class="users"> <li> <%= full_name(request.profile) %> <%= request.status %> <%= link_to "Accept", :controller => "requests", :action => "accept", :id => request.id %> </li> </ul> <% end %> There are a couple of problems: routing to the accept action and building a URL to a nested resource.

I have a specialised case where I wish to serve a straight html file from a Controller Action. I want to serve it from a different folder other than the Views folder. The file is located in Solution\Html\index.htm And I want to serve it from a standard controller action. Could i use return File? And how do I do this? If you want to render this index.htm file in the browser then you could create controller action like this: public void GetHtml() { var encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(); var htm = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("/Solution/Html/") + "index.htm", encoding); byte[
