With WebForms, if I wanted to run a method on every page load, then I would call this method in the Page_Load() method of the main Master Page.
Is there an alternative, perhaps better solution, when using MVC3?
I think the most appropriate way to do this in MVC is with filters
MSDN provides a good description of them, and there are dozens of articles and explanatins about them on the net, such as this one
EDIT
This sample is even better: It provides a simple action filter, which is then registered in global.asax, and executed on every request, before the actual Action in the relevan controller executes. Such concept allows you to access the request object, and modify whatever you want before the actual controller is executing.
