When is it ok to meddle in the page lifecycle an ASP.NET MVC page?

The problem with what you describe is that the view is only rendered once the controller decides which view to render. It may seem surprising at first, but by the time your OnPreInit method is called, all of the logic of the controller has already executed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
