How to dynamically change homepage in asp.net mvc application

Question

how to dynamically change the home page in an asp.net mvc application. As with ASP.Net, it can be changed in Page_PreInit Event

Answer 1

Views display a property .MasterNamethat indicates which main page to use. You can set this in your controller when returning the view.

For instance,

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewResult vr = View();
        vr.MasterName="....";
        return vr;
    }

Answer 2

You can create your own class ViewPageand override the method OnPreInitand set the property accordingly MasterPageFile.

Just change your views to use your own ViewPage class, and you're done.
