Question

Hi all...
I'm trying to add RedirectToCanonicalUrlAttribute filter in MVC 5 app. Got the code below from another site. It is

GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new RedirectToCanonicalUrlAttribute(
RouteTable.Routes.AppendTrailingSlash,
RouteTable.Routes.LowercaseUrls));

But I don't know how or the specific place to add it on my server. Please any help?

Hi talk2ekpa,

As far as I know, the  GlobalFilters object is a great way to associate an attribute with every Action method in your ASP.NET MVC application.

Normally, this line is inside global.asax in MVC.

More details, you could refer to below article:

Give GlobalFilters a try ... they can be effective when used to associate an attribute with every Action method in your ASP.NET MVC application.
