I`m trying to follow the tutorial Securing Asp.net but when i try to put this line
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Filters.Add(new System.Web.Http.AuthorizeAttribute());
it gives me a following error
The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.Http.Filters.HttpFilterCollection.Add(System.Web.Http.Filters.IFilters)' has some invalid agruments
below is my Global.asax code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Optimization;
using System.Web.Routing;
using DatabaseService_WebAPI.App_Start;
namespace DatabaseService_WebAPI
{
// Note: For instructions on enabling IIS6 or IIS7 classic mode,

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DatabaseService_WebAPI.Models.ProductContextInitializer());
System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DatabaseService_WebAPI.Models.LocalDBContextInitializer());
System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DatabaseService_WebAPI.Models.GCMClassContextInitializer());
System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DatabaseService_WebAPI.Models.ProductTypeContextInitializer());
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Filters.Add(new System.Web.Mvc.AuthorizeAttribute());
WebApiConfig.Configure(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
filters.Add(new System.Web.Mvc.AuthorizeAttribute());
filters.Add(new RequireHttpsAttribute());
}
}
}
I`m not an expert developer in mvc. so anyone can tell how to add filters?
Create this method in global.asax.cs:
Then call it from the
Application_Start
method:
