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 filterContext.Result for this. It should look like this:

public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) {     //Check your condition here     if (true)     {         //Create your result         filterContext.Result = new EmptyResult();     }     else         base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext); }
