Each type links to its own reference page. ## SAIF.Web | Type | Kind | Namespace | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Constants](SAIF.Web/Constants.md) | class (constant holder) | SAIF.Web | Centralizes the request-key literals and error-redirect URL that web-context resolution and exception handling depend on, so every consumer of this library uses the same key names and error page. | | [HttpContextExtensions](SAIF.Web/HttpContextExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web | Supplies two independent request-inspection helpers used before a web context or authorization decision exists: extracting the context id from the current request, and deciding Glimpse diagnostic-panel access by environment and role. | | [IWebContextExtensions](SAIF.Web/IWebContextExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web | Provides `SetDefaultCurrentValue`, the single extension point consuming applications call to seed an initial context value only when the user has just arrived from a different application, avoiding accidental overwrites on same-application navigation. | | [WebContextService](SAIF.Web/WebContextService.md) | class (service) | SAIF.Web | Implements `IWebContextService` for the web tier: resolves, creates, and persists web contexts by caching them in `HttpContext.Session` and proxying cache misses to the remote WCF `IWebContextService` endpoint. | ## SAIF.Web.Mvc | Type | Kind | Namespace | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GridErrorArguments](SAIF.Web.Mvc/GridErrorArguments.md) | class (generic, TGridRow, TProperty) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Carries the grid property name and row-id property name captured from a caller's lambda expressions, so `ModelStateExtensions` can normalize a raw model-state key into a grid row identifier without re-parsing expressions on every call. | | [HandleExceptionAttribute](SAIF.Web.Mvc/HandleExceptionAttribute.md) | class (MVC exception filter) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Global MVC exception filter that logs unhandled action exceptions with full request diagnostic context and redirects non-AJAX requests to the shared error page, while never itself throwing regardless of logging outcome. | | [HttpContextExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/HttpContextExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Distinct from `SAIF.Web.HttpContextExtensions`: supplies the request-diagnostic dictionary and URL/application-name parsing helpers that `HandleExceptionAttribute` and `SaifAuthorizeAttribute` use to build log entries and route keys. | | [IEnumerableExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/IEnumerableExtensions.md) | static class (empty) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Declared as an extension-method holder for `IEnumerable` but currently contains no members; an architectural placeholder rather than active functionality.* | | [Mappers](SAIF.Web.Mvc/Mappers.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Sole mapping boundary between the `BusinessOnlineMenu` service contract and the MVC-facing `MenuViewModel`, keeping the contract-to-view-model field mapping in one place rather than scattering it across controllers. | | [MenuExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/MenuExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Emits the Business Online navigation menu markup — favorites list, all-applications category grouping, and a client-side-consumed top menu — from a `MenuViewModel`/`WebContextViewModel` pair, including a legacy "old school" rendering path for older layouts. | | [MenuService](SAIF.Web.Mvc/MenuService.md) | class (service) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Implements `IMenuService`, querying the Oracle-backed `BusinessOnlineMenuItem` NHibernate repository for a user's visible menu items and favorites, always unioning in the shared `UNSECURED` menu. | | [ModelStateExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/ModelStateExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Translates ASP.NET `ModelStateDictionary` validation errors into JSON-friendly `ErrorViewModel[]` correlated back to grid rows, and the inverse: loading a domain `IValidationResult` into `ModelStateDictionary`. | | [ModelStateWrapper](SAIF.Web.Mvc/ModelStateWrapper.md) | class (service) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Implements `IMessageContainer` over `ModelStateDictionary`, giving domain/service code a validation-agnostic way to report errors, warnings, and informational messages while de-duplicating repeated text so users do not see the same message multiple times. | | [SaifAuthorizeAttribute](SAIF.Web.Mvc/SaifAuthorizeAttribute.md) | sealed class (MVC authorization filter) | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Sealed authorization filter that grants access when the current user satisfies any one of the roles declared on the attribute (`[SaifAuthorize("RoleA", "RoleB")]`), and otherwise logs a `SecurityException` and redirects to a hard-coded error URL. | | [TempDataExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/TempDataExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Small helper pair around the `WebContextId` TempData key, sparing callers from repeating the key literal and cast when checking for or reading a context id carried across a redirect. | | [WebContextExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc/WebContextExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc | Bridges the web-context view model and the resolved `IWebContext` with the round-trip form used to carry context id/value between requests, and the TempData hand-off used for same-application navigation. | ## SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers | Type | Kind | Namespace | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ControllerBase](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers/ControllerBase.md) | abstract class (empty) | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers | Abstract base sitting directly over `System.Web.Mvc.Controller`; declares no members of its own and exists solely as the common root that `WebContextControllerBase` builds on, reserving a place to add cross-cutting controller behavior later.* | | [MenuControllerBase](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers/MenuControllerBase.md) | abstract class | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers | Extends `WebContextControllerBase` to additionally decorate the current view model with the session-cached Business Online menu, the current menu item, the controller's declared category, and whether the current user is external. | | [WebContextControllerBase](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers/WebContextControllerBase.md) | abstract class | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Controllers | Base controller that resolves and persists the per-request web context, and drives cross-application/same-application navigation redirects; every controller that participates in web-context handoff derives from this class (directly or via `MenuControllerBase`). | ## SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions | Type | Kind | Namespace | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [AutofacExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions/AutofacExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions | Single composition-root entry point a consuming application calls during `Application_Start` to register MVC/Web API discovery, the framework's core web services, NHibernate unit-of-work factories, the menu repository, and this library's own services into the caller's Autofac `ContainerBuilder`. | | [BundleExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions/BundleExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions | Bundling helper that builds the common toolbar stylesheet bundle and the version-specific Kendo UI stylesheet bundle a consuming application registers at startup, plus a generic helper for appending `.css` files to any bundle. | | [LabelExtensions](SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions/LabelExtensions.md) | static class | SAIF.Web.Mvc.Extensions | Renders a `
