ASP.NET MVC 3: Accessing the HTTP request in a view - asp.net-mvc

I have a site with a navigation menu that contains links to various pages. In the menu's ASPX view, we make a call to a model method. The model method executes the authorization filter for each action in a hard-coded list, and the results are used to decide what links to render.
This has worked fine in the past, and still does for most of our users. Unfortunately, a user is now frequently getting errors like the one shown below. The quick summary is that we're getting a NullReferenceException when calling the IsAjaxRequest() method on the request while rendering the view (via code in a custom authorization filter).
The error doesn't occur every time this page is rendered, and I've only been able to personally recreate it once. It has been a persistent issue for one of our users for at least a week now.
I'm guessing that the HttpRequest is being invalidated at some point before the view processing begins, but I can't find anything to confirm that. Could this be the problem? Or could it be caused by one of the servers between the user and our web server, like a proxy or our firewall?
Here's the stack trace:
System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): Error executing child request for handler 'System.Web.Mvc.HttpHandlerUtil+ServerExecuteHttpHandlerWrapper'. ---> System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005): Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The problem was caused by the RequestContext being stored in a static variable in the model. When multiple users used the site, there was a chance that the HttpRequest would be reassigned and disposed by one user while another user's request was in progress.
The disposed HttpRequest was the cause of this error, and other similar ones that we're no longer seeing since deploying this fix.

NullReferenceException in SiteLayout.cshtml with FileResult

For a client of ours we have an MVC action which returns PDF files. The following code is the logic to return the FileResult.
public FileResult DownloadAbsFile(string id)
{
String path = GetPathNameByID(id);
if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
{
byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path);
return File(fileBytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf, fileName);
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
When I request a PDF file using the right URL most of the time there is no problem. However certain users get an error. The error is puzzling me for quite some time. The error I get is as follows.

On the specific line in the cshtml it tries to access the PageTitle in the ViewBag, which wasn't set. This value is never set, so I get this. But what I do not get is why it is trying to render the view in the first place.
Can anybody help me with this?

Umbraco No parameterless constructor defined for this object

I am trying to render a partial view in Umbraco. I have a BaseLayout.cshtml,Homepage.cshtml,BaseLayoutViewModel,HomepageViewModel
This is my BaseLayout View
#inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<View_Models.BaseLayoutViewModel>
#{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-gb">
<head>
</head>
<body>
#Html.Action("GetPrimaryNavbar", "PrimaryNavbar", Model) //This is there the site throws an error.
#RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
This is my BaseLayout Model. Homepage model inherits from base layout.
public class BaseLayoutViewModel : PublishedContentModel
{
public BaseLayoutViewModel(IPublishedContent content) : base(content)
{
}
public string PageTitle => this.GetPropertyValue<string>(FieldNames.BaseLayout.PageTitle);
public string PageDescription => this.GetPropertyValue<string>(FieldNames.BaseLayout.PageDescription);
public string NavigationName => this.GetPropertyValue<string>(FieldNames.BaseLayout.NavigationName);
}
My PrimaryNavbar Partial view is:
#inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<View_Models.PrimaryNavbarViewModel>
<header>
<ul>
<li>
</li
</ul>
</header>
And the controller for the PrimaryNavbar is:
public class PrimaryNavbarController : SurfaceController
{
[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult GetPrimaryNavbar(RenderModel model)
{
//var primaryNavbarViewModel = new PrimaryNavbarViewModel(model.Content);
return PartialView("PrimaryNavbar");//, primaryNavbarViewModel);
}
}

I cant understand why I am getting "No parameterless constructor defined for this object." Can someone help me on this?
Thanks
To solve the issue you need to send the model like this:
#Html.Action("GetPrimaryNavbar", "PrimaryNavbar", new { model = Model })

No parameterless constructor defined for the object

Just upgraded to from SC 8.0 to 8.1 Update3 and started see No parameterless constructor defined for the object error.
Any ideas what could be different between 8.0 and 8.1 rendering?
Solution includes Glass Mapper as well. I did not add any Areas since the 8.0 build was single site setup.

Umbraco Lucene Index Device not ready

So I am getting an exception on an Umbraco 7 instance on windows shared hosting. It seems like after an arbitrary amount of time an issue crops up with the Lucene Index (whose API I do not call directly) and the application goes into a state of error until I refresh the app pool. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Azure websites uses a remote file system which can cause some havoc with Lucene and we've seen this error quite a few times. I can only assume then that Godaddy also use a remote file server for their IIS websites.
Basically the solution is to run your Umbraco lucene indexes on local temp asp.net storage. In the latest versions of Umbraco (7.2.8+) this functionality is built into the core and you would use the LocalOnly configuration flag for both your indexers and searchers, for example:
<add name="InternalIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
supportUnpublished="true"
supportProtected="true"
analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
useTempStorage="LocalOnly"/>
<add name="InternalSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
useTempStorage="LocalOnly"/>
If you are using old versions of Umbraco you can use a custom library called TempStorage: https://github.com/Shazwazza/UmbracoExamine.TempStorage

Can anybody tell me what is causing this issue?
We faced the above issue and the exception was logged because of calling handler twice
for example In our case we are calling Response.Redirect handler twice. i.e. we set it to go to Home page and then again call to redirect to FAQ page then the above exception will be thrown
for that keep a check
if (!Response.IsRequestBeingRedirected){}
