Hi All

How could I retrieve the browser language setting through MVC since I couldn't use the request under Controller??

Thanks and Regards

Alex

Who said you can't use the request under Controller?

You can. There's even a property called Request on the Controller (i wonder what that's there for). It's not available in the constructor but there are several places you can put common code that runs before every action. like OnActionExecuting for example.

it's just this.Request.UserLanguages to get an array of accepted languages.

If i've misunderstood you please describe your problem in more detail.

Thanks, it works now.

The problem happened is because I try HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages but not work.. BTW, Why HttpContext.Current not work?

HttpContext is not easily testable, hence it and other common types have been abstracted away.  For example, the System.Web.Abstractions assembly contains a type HttpContextBase which mimics HttpContext.  Similarly, there is a RequestContextBase that mimics RequestContext.  The Controller.Request property is actually a RequestContextBase and should be used in place of HttpContext.Current.Request.
