One for the MVC brains trust if I can: I want to add some basic link redirection and logging to a test MVC site. So, for example, if I have a calls like:
http://www.mytestsite.com/links/10123 http://www.mytestsite.com/links/10939 I want to redirect the caller to some other URL associated with each link number. All easy enough. However, I also want to log details to my database about that call/redirection and that’s where the issue arises. ・ I don’t want the redirection to wait synchronously for the DB call to complete. ・ If the logging didn’t work, I still want the redirection to occur. I’m presuming that as soon as I return a Response.Redirect or Response.RedirectToAction, etc, etc. that I can’t then execute code afterwards in the same call. I’ve wondered about starting an async DB operation and just not waiting for it to complete. Any suggestions on how best to achieve that outcome? Is some sort of ActionFilter a better option?
