Using MVC Miniprofiler for every action call

Question

Iv been experimenting the great tool, Mvc MiniProfiler.

I don\'t want to litter all my view with lots of Step commands, so I am wanting to use the profiler

You could define a global action filter:

public class ProfileActionsAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var profiler = MiniProfiler.Current;
        var step = profiler.Step("Action: " + filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName);
        filterContext.HttpContext.Items["step"] = step;
    }

    public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
    {
        var step = filterContext.HttpContext.Items["step"] as IDisposable;
        if (step != null)
        {
            step.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

and register in Global.asax:

public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
    filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
    filters.Add(new ProfileActionsAttribute());
}

and that's pretty much all.
