Hi folks,

I've got a simple custom FilterAttribute which I use decorate various ActionMethods.

eg.

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
[MyCustomFilter]
public ActionResult Bar(...)
{ ... }

Now, I wish to add some logging to this CustomFilter Action .. so being a good boy, I'm using DI/IoC ... and as such wish to use this pattern for my custom FilterAttribute.

So if i have the following...

ILoggingService

and wish to add this my custom FilterAttribute .. i'm not sure how. Like, it's easy for me to do the following...

public class MyCustomFilterAttribute : FilterAttribute
{
    public MyCustomFilterAttribute(ILoggingService loggingService)
    { ... }
}

But the compiler errors saying the attribute which decorates my ActionMethod (listed above...) requires 1 arg .. so i'm just not sure what to do :(
