How to write one method and pass argument and call it in each controller? The problem: I setup my localization basically on my RouteConfig file:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{language}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, language = "en-US" }
);
And when user changes languages, on Url.ActionLink I am sending the parameter "languageCulture" (for example: "en-US").
Because I create a website for my private purposes, I created each method in Home controller will be a separate web page. And now I ended up with duplicated code:
public class HomeController : BaseController
{
GlobalModel gm;
public HomeController()
{
gm = new GlobalModel();
}
public ActionResult Index(string language)
{
try
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language);
gm.CultureCode = language;
return View(gm);
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
public ActionResult Services(string language)
{
try
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language);
gm.CultureCode = language;
return View(gm);
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
I created and a GLobal model class that holds information about culture. I need that, because I want to colorize language label based on that "flag" from jQuery.
My questiuon is: How can I write method in BaseController for example:
public class BaseController : Controller
{
public ActionResult SetCulture(string language)
{
//implementation something like
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language);
GlobalModel gm = new GLobalModel();
gm.CultureCode = language;
return RedirectToAction();
}
}
How can I from this method call specific method in Home controller? Am I need to pass additional parameter which method I want to call or is there some "simpler" solution?
