Hi John,

In V8 you should be able to take advantage of DI to get access to that.

I would try something like this:

public classs MySurfaceController : SurfaceController
{
       private readonly IGlobalSettings globalSettings;

       public MySurfaceController(IGlobalSettings globalSettings)
       {
               this.globalSettings = globalSettings;
       }

       public ActionResult MyAction()
       {
               //do something with globalSettings 
       }
}

This should allow you access to that object assuming it is registered with the DI container. If it's not, I'm sure there will be a similar object that might wrap the global settings that can be injected.

Thanks

Nik
