hi Brian -

This is awesome! Haven’t gotten the chance to try this approach. I was thinking of going the route of not using session object and trying to figure out the HealthVault auth token redirect through HealthVaultController class.

Ok the remaining pieces to this puzzle seem to be as follows:

- insert the following line into _Default.Page_Load.aspx.cs:

Session["HttpContext"] = this.Context;

- Extend the class Sytem.Web.Mvc.Controller
- add to it’s base constructor the following lines:

HttpContext context = (HttpContext)Session["HttpContext"];
PersonInfo info = WebApplicationUtilities.PageOnPreLoad(context, true);

- Expose PersonInfo as a property of MyController or whatever you’ve named it.

This might just do the trick…

howdy,
in the middle of doing this myself – maybe we can share experiences… i’ll add that i have changed references to Page to HealthServicePage and references to ActionPage to HealthServiceActionPage – this allows you authenticate upon hitting the site. currently figuring out how to pass auth credentials into the controllers…
