Question

I would like to define an extension controller method. Is this possible? When I try it, it compiles, but I receive a 404, instead of a 200.

    public static ActionResult MyMethod(this Controller)
    {
        return new EmptyResult();
    }

Answer 1

You can’t have a static action method, so this won’t work.

What you could do instead is create a base controller class with a public instance method:

public class BaseController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult MyMethod()
    {
        return new EmptyResult();
    }
}
