I've been searching for something similar but no luck. I want to build an app that uses different controllers for same urls. Basic idea is like that if a user is logged in as admin he uses lets say admin controller, if user is just a user he uses user controller. This is just an example, basically I want to have a function that decides what controller route takes.
Thank u everyone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS
Use of this:
Admin has different UI and options,
Output catching,
Separation of concern
You need to create a RouteConstraint to check the user's role, as follows:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Routing;
namespace Examples.Extensions
{
public class MustBeAdmin : IRouteConstraint
{
public MustBeAdmin()
{ }
public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName, RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection)
{
// return true if user is in Admin role
return httpContext.User.IsInRole("Admin");
}
}
}
Then, before your default route, declare a route for the Admin role, as follows:
routes.MapRoute(
"Admins", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, // Parameter default
new { controller = new MustBeAdmin() } // our constraint
);
