How to use dynamic master page in ASP.NET MVC RC 1.0

Question

I don\'t know how to using dynamic master page in ASP.NET MVC RC 1.0. Please help!

Answer 1

I got this to work by creating a base controller that handled the OnActionExecuted event. In the OnActionExecutedevent I assign the master page. Then I made all my other controllers inherit from the base class.

public class BaseController : Controller
{
     protected override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) {
         var action = filterContext.Result as ViewResult;
         if (action != null) {
             action.MasterName = MyApp.Properties.Settings.Default.Theme;
         }  

         base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext);
     }
}

I wrote a post about this if you want more detail
