Fill PropertyBag from BaseController

[Flominator]

Hi there,

is there any way to fill some fields in the PropertyBag within my
BaseController from which all of my controllers are inherited? I want
to have those feeds available in every Action of every Controller
unless I change it there.

BaseController itself inherits from SmartDispatcherController. Maybe
there is some kind of hook that is called when initializing a
controller or something?

Thanks in advance,

Flo

Could you override the propertybag and do your stuff there? I've not got VS open in front of me so that's a question as much as an answer ;)

One choice is to use a filter.

[Filter(ExecuteWhen.BeforeAction, typeof(IPreloadBaseControllerPropertyBagFilter)]
public class BaseController {
}

public class PreloadBaseControllerPropertyBagFilter : IFilter {
    public virtual bool Perform(.....) {
        controllerContext.PropertyBag.Add("mykey", myvalue);
    }
}

I do it this way:

public class BaseSiteController : ARSmartDispatcherController
{
public override void Initialize()
{
base.Initialize();

PropertyBag["siteCharset"] = "value";
}
}

Hope it helps!
