A controller in the Model-View-Controller pattern. Derive this class and add method with one of the following signatures: "public string MethodName()" or "public void MyMethod()". The first should return a string with the response, the latter should use SendHeader and SendBody methods to handle the response.

public abstract class RequestController : HttpModule, 
	ICloneable

Public MustInherit Class RequestController _
	Inherits HttpModule _
	Implements ICloneable

public ref class RequestController abstract : public HttpModule, 
	ICloneable

Last segment of the path is always broken into the properties Id and RequestedType Alhtough note that the RequestedType can also be empty if no file extension have been specified. A typical use of file extensions in controllers is to specify which type of format to return.

public class MyController : RequestController { public string Hello() { if (RequestedType == "xml") return "<hello>World<hello>"; else return "Hello " + Request.QueryString["user"].Value + ", welcome to my world"; } public void File() { Response.Headers.ContentType = "text/xml"; Response.SendHeader(); } }
