Hello guys,
I'm having a problem to create a generic View to represent NotFound pages.
The view is created and it's fine. I need to know how i can direct the user to the NotFound view in my Controllers and how to render a specific "Return to Index" in each controller.
Here is some code:
public class NotFoundModel
{
private string _contentName;
private string _notFoundTitle;
private string _apologiesMessage;
public string ContentName { get; private set; }
public string NotFoundTitle { get; private set; }
public string ApologiesMessage { get; private set; }
public NotFoundModel(string contentName, string notFoundTitle, string apologiesMessage)
{
this._contentName = contentName;
this._notFoundTitle = notFoundTitle;
this._apologiesMessage = apologiesMessage;
}
}
// NotFound View
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Geographika.Models.NotFoundModel>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
<%=
Html.Encode(Model.ContentName) %>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2><%=
Html.Encode(Model.NotFoundTitle) %></h2>
<p><%=
Html.Encode(Model.ApologiesMessage) %></p>
<!-- How can i render here a specific "BackToIndexView", but that it's not bound to
my NotFoundModel? -->
</asp:Content>
// Controller piece of code
//
// GET: /Term/Details/2
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
Term term = termRepository.SingleOrDefault(t => t.TermId == id);
if (term == null)
return View("NotFound"); // how can i return the specific view that its not bound to Term Model?
// the idea here would be something like:
// return View("NotFound",new NotFoundModel("a","b","c"));
else
return View("Details", term);
}
I'm not sure how to redirect to a whole different page. Can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks
