How to skip action execution from an ActionFilter?

Question

Is it possible to skip the whole action method execution and return a specific ActionResult when a certain condition is met in OnActionExecuting?

Answer 1

You can use the following code here.

public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
 {
    ...
    if (needToRedirect) //your condition here
    {
       ...
       filterContext.Result = new RedirectToAction(string action, string controller)
       return;
    }
    ...
 }

RedirectToAction will redirect you the specific action based on the condition.
