ASP.NET MVC: Execute code on all Actions (global OnActionExecuting?)

Question

Is there a "global" OnActionExecuting that I can override to have all my MVC actions (regardless of controller) do something when they get called? If so, how?

Answer 1

Nope. The easiest way to do this is to write a common base class that all of your controller types subclass, then stick an action filter on that base class or override its OnActionExecuting() method.
