_start.cshtml view is not executing

I am using Asp.Net MVC-4 in my application. I have created a controller, for eample say Person and in this controller i have 3 Actions for example say GetName, GetAge and GetDateOfBirth. Now what i want is to place a check so that the user who are not loggedin can't get access to these action view.

For this i am trying to use _start.cshtml view. Which i placed inside the Views/Person/ and i am expecting that whenever any user will access any view from inside Person folder than _start.cshtml view should run before any other view. And in *_start.cshtml* i placed a code to check for whether current user is logged in or not. But the _star.cshtml is not executing.

Can anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong ?

That's absolutely not something that should be done in views but on the controller actions, by decorating them with the [Authorize] attribute. For example:

[Authorize]
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
    ...
}

and you also have the possibility to specify one or more roles:

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
    ...
}

You could also decorate a controller with this attribute which would mean that all actions in it require authorization.
