How do I restrict access to certain pages in ASP.NET MVC? -

i wish lock out access html page (eg. /manual/manual_a/index.html) if condition not met (eg. httpcontext.current.request.form["key"].tostring().equals("a") ), wish redirect specific view (eg. /errorpage/) else continue (eg. /index). in register route add:

routes.maproute(                 "errorpage",                                                             "errorpage/",                                           new { controller = "home", action = "errorpage" }              );  routes.maproute(                 "path",                                                             "{*_request}",                                           new { controller = "home", action = "index" }              ); 

for read request. in controller home

[customauthorize]     public actionresult index()    {     }  protected override void onactionexecuting(actionexecutingcontext filtercontext)     {         if(!condition)           filtercontext.result = redirecttoaction("pageerror");     } 

onactionexecuting executes on every request, however, redirecttoaction not happen. hints i'm doing wrong?

you need set filtercontext.result shown below , redirect error page.

filtercontext.result = new emptyresult(); redirecttoaction("pageerror"); 

that should fix problem.
