I went to implement this and realized that the DataContext is left to be killed by garbage collection. Is this the right way to do this? I always use a "using" statement around all my statements to be deliberate about the destruction.

What about adding a destructor to the abstract class?

How can I modify the later method so I can store the masterpage data in the application cache rather than viewdata?

public abstract class ApplicationController : Controller{ static ApplicationController() { } }

The static constructor will only get called when the application is started for the first time.

However, much like @simonwilbert, I ran into a problem where objects are not initialized at the ApplicationController constructor. For me it is the Request and User objects. (I want to check Request.IsAuthenticated and User.Identity.Name in order to provide user information to the View so that it can display user-specific content.)

Any way around this?

However, if you want access to the context, just override the OnActionExecuting method:

protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)

{

ApplicationSetting applicationSettings = null;

var context = filterContext.RequestContext.HttpContext;

// Optional: Work only for GET request

if (context.Request.RequestType != "GET")

return;

// Optional: Do not work with AjaxRequests

if (context.Request.IsAjaxRequest())

return;

if (context.Application["applicationSettings"] == null)

{

applicationSettings = _dataContext.loadApplicationSettings();

context.Application["applicationSettings"] = applicationSettings;

}

else

{

applicationSettings = (ApplicationSetting) context.Application["applicationSettings"];

}

filterContext.Controller.ViewData["applicationSettings"] = applicationSettings;

}

Don't know because don't know how old this is...

One question: How can I pass parameters to ApplicationController() constructor?(parameters sended from the final user).
