dll Hell .net

I’ve always been bothered by writing code like:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult About() {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult Terms() {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult Privacy() {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult About() {
        return View();
    }

}

So many methods doing the same thing and possibly scattered across many controllers… Sometimes inheritance works, but sometimes it’s not a possible solution. Castle’s Monorail has dynamic actions to address this problem. In this Code Voyeur article I demonstrate how to solve the problme in ASP.NET MVC.
