How to implement in razor page

[imtiazahmeddahar]

i have created new MVC core 3.1 application with razor identity. when i run the application and i'm getting this error:

InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.CompiledPageActionDescriptor' to type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Controllers.ControllerActionDescriptor'.
SchoolManagementSystem.ExtentionMethods.DynamicAuthorizationFilter.IsProtectedAction(AuthorizationFilterContext context) in DynamicAuthorizationFilter.cs, line 66

please guide me, how can i implement DynamicRoleBasedAuthorizationNETCore in razor pages as well.

At the moment DynamicRoleBasedAuthorizationNETCore only supports MVC not Razor Pages and sorry for that. The main problem is that I cannot figure out how to get a page URL because it's related to the folder structure and I don't have much experience with Razor Pages. I should spend more time on Razor Pages and find out how routing exactly works or if someone can help me with this case.

i found filters for razor pages from Microsoft's docs but i don't know how to implement it. Would you like to please review it?

Filter methods for Razor Pages in ASP.NET Core:

Hi mo-esmp. Firstly thanks for the great repo.

I have followed your manual branch implementation in a project I'm using but also ran into the razor page issue as I'm using idenitiy scaffolded pages.

Could you please post your suggestions / guide for implementing the fix for razor pages?

Hey @shaunVorster,
Sorry for the late reply. As I mentioned in previous comments, the main problem with Razor Pages for me is routing and couldn't find a solution for that and I haven't worked on it in a long time. For now, my suggestion is to take a look at the MvcControllerDiscovery to find out how it find controller actions and also take a look at this.
