Redirect to a MVC action by Ajax call through ActionFilterAttribute

I have a method that is called by an ajax request. Implemented a SessionExpireFilter inherited by ActionFilterAttribute. I want to redirect to another action on failed condition in SesssionExpireFilter. My code is as below.

Method

[HttpPost]
        [SessionExpireFilter]
        public string SaveInstitute(int id, string category, string institute)
        {

            return DBMethodWeb.SaveInstitute(id, Convert.ToInt32(category), institute);

        }

SessionExpireFilter

public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current;

            if (HttpContext.Current.Session[SessionManagement.SchoolId] != null)
            {

            }

            else
            {
                filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(new RouteValueDictionary(new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }));
               // HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(@"~/Home/Index");
            }




            base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
        }

Its rendering the page in ajax response. I want to redirect to an action.

Instead of redirecting at the server side, you can redirect on the client side as shown below - 

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js"></script>
<script>
    function callme(data) {
        window.location.href = data;
    }
</script>

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("YourActionName", new AjaxOptions { OnSuccess = "callme" }))
{
    <div>
        <input type="submit" value="Click me" />
    </div>
}

You ActionFilter should return a JsonResult as shown below -

public class SessionExpireFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        filterContext.Result = new JsonResult() { Data = "http://www.google.com", JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet };
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

For testing purpose, I used following action -

[SessionExpireFilter]
public ActionResult YourActionName()
{
    return View();
}

At the end, my page got successfully redirected.

NOTE: The same example will work even if we make a JQuery AJAX request through code instead of AJAX form. All we need to do is to handle Success Function.

Can you try this:

public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current;

            if (HttpContext.Current.Session[SessionManagement.SchoolId] != null)
            {
            }
            else
            {
              filterContext.Result = new ViewResult
            {
                ViewName = "you path for particular view"
            };

            }
            base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
        }

Hope this helps..
