protected internal RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction(
string actionName,
string controllerName);
means I cannot do
public static ActionResult RedirectToErrorAction(this Controller controller)
{
// redirect to custom error page
return controller.RedirectToAction("error", "support");
}
Any ideas?
You might want to consider returning a custom, shared error view instead, but if you really need to do this, you might want to consider using reflection to invoke the internal method. The former could be implemented in a base controller that becomes the foundation for all your controllers.
First example:
public class BaseController : Controller
{
private ActionResult CreateErrorResult( string message )
{
ViewData["message"] = message;
...
return new View( "CustomError" );
}
}
Second example (if getting the internal attribute via reflection works):
public static ActionResult RedirectToErrorAction(this Controller controller)
{
MethodInfo info = typeof(Controller).GetMethod( "RedirectToAction",
BindingFlags.NonPublic|BindingFlags.Instance,
null,
new Type[] { typeof(string), typeof(string) },
null );
return info.Invoke( controller, new object[] { "error", "support" } )
as ActionResult;
}
