Question

I am implementing a CustomAuthorizeAttribute. I need to get the name of the action being executed. How can i get the name of current action name getting executed in the AuthorizeCore function which i am overriding ?

Answer 1

You can get the Action Name like this:

public class CustomAuthFilter : IAuthorizationFilter
    {
        public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName;
        }
    }

EDIT:

If you want to inherit from the AuthorizationAttribute you’ll need to override the OnAuthorization method.

public class CustomAuthAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute
{
    public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
    {
        base.OnAuthorization(filterContext);
    }
}
