This should do the job:

public class MyCustomActionFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        if (someCondition)
        {
            var values = new RouteValueDictionary(new { 
                action = "index",
                controller = "login"
            });
            filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(values);
        }
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

Make sure your attribute derives from ActionFilterAttribute.

+1 Thanks that works. My mistake is that im not overriding it like base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext); – Fraz Sundal Dec 23 '10 at 08:55
If request is ajax based then its not redirecting to that page instead its opening it in the window – Fraz Sundal Jan 06 '11 at 12:39
