MVC Server.Transfer

[StevieMars]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to MVC and have run into a situation where for example the user goes to url

MySite/Category/?id=10

If there are no products for categoryid 10 then I want to server.transfer to a generic product missing error page (keeping the URL the same). From what I understand about MVC I'm not able to just server.transfer so how would I do this?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Good question :)
I'm curious to hear the answer when you find it :)

In my quick googling I am under the impression that you are going to want to use the Controller.Redi rectToAction method.

ok found a solution that seems to do the job. If the product does not exist I execute the following code else I return the View as normal. This should work providing the action 'MissingProduct ' returns a View.

GenericController controller = new GenericController { ControllerContext = ControllerContext };
controller.RouteData.Values["controller"] = "Generic";
controller.RouteData.Values["action"] = "MissingProduct";
return controller.MissingProduct();

Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Thanks for sharing the solution :)
