I am coding a MVC 5 internet application and have a question in regards to the HttpRequestValidationException
exception.
My previous code in my controller is as follows:
protected override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
{
// Make use of the exception later
this.Session["ErrorException"] = filterContext.Exception;
if (filterContext.Exception is HttpRequestValidationException)
{
TempData["UITitle"] = "Validation";
TempData["UIHeading"] = customErrorType;
TempData["UIMessage"] = filterContext.Exception.Message;
TempData["UIException"] = filterContext.Exception;
filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
}
else
{
TempData["UITitle"] = "Error";
TempData["UIHeading"] = customErrorType;
TempData["UIMessage"] = filterContext.Exception.Message;
TempData["UIException"] = filterContext.Exception;
}
filterContext.Result = this.RedirectToAction("Index", "Error");
base.OnException(filterContext);
}
If an exception occurred, then the Index view in the Error controller displayed this error. I have now written the following global filter:
public class ExceptionFilterDisplayErrorView : IExceptionFilter
{
public virtual void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
{
filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
RouteValueDictionary routeValueDictionary = new RouteValueDictionary();
routeValueDictionary.Add("controller", "Error");
routeValueDictionary.Add("action", "Index");
filterContext.Controller.TempData.Clear();
filterContext.Controller.TempData.Add("UITitle", "Error");
filterContext.Controller.TempData.Add("UIHeading", "Error");
filterContext.Controller.TempData.Add("UIMessage", filterContext.Exception.Message);
filterContext.Controller.TempData.Add("UIException", filterContext.Exception);
RedirectToRouteResult redirectToRouteResult = new RedirectToRouteResult(routeValueDictionary);
filterContext.Result = redirectToRouteResult;
}
}
The above filter works the same as the previous OnException
function, except now, if a HttpRequestValidationException
exception occurs, the default stack trace page is shown, rather than the Error controller view.
Is it possible to display a custom error view for HttpRequestValidationException
exceptions in an exception filter?
