Question

This must be simple, but I can’t seem to figure it out. I am setting an action parameter inside an action filter as follows:

public class MyFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting (ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        filterContext.ActionParameters["MyParam"] = "MyValue";
    }
}

I am applying the filter to an entire controller as follows:

 [MyFilter]
 public class HomeController : Controller
 {
      public ActionResult Index()
      {
           // How do I access MyParam here?
           return View();
      }
 }

}

How do I access MyParam inside an action method?

Maybe you could use:

[MyFilter]
public ActionResult Index(string MyParam)
{
       //Do something with MyParam           
       return View();
}

You can decorate whole controller with [MyFilter] or only one action.
