Custom controller response

Custom controller response

You can create your custom controller response by deriving from ControllerResponse base class and implementing Process method.

Example

public class MyControllerResponse : ControllerResponse
{
    public override ControllerResponseResult Process()
    {
        // Do your response action

        return ControllerResponseResult.Default;
    }
}

• When a controller will return your controller response then Process method will be called by framework after controller execution, or on async controllers responses execution (if your controller was an async controller);
• ControllerResponse has the same properties like Controller base class to access Simplify.Web modules like DataCollector or WebContext, you can use them to do your actions;
• Additional module available to controller response is ResponseWriter, this module provides writing to HTTP response;
• Process method should return one of ControllerResponseResult enum types:
  • Default - default result, framework will process other controllers and generate a page;
  • RawOutput - indicates what subsequent controllers execution and page generation should be stopped (for example, if you are providing some custom output to client), no output data will be sent to client except your custom writing to response;
  • Redirect - indicates what controller response doing some client redirection, technically same as RawOutput.
