Detect Synchronous and Asynchronous Controller Actions in MVC 4

We recently ran into the issue where ExecuteCore() in BaseController was no longer being called. Worked in MVC 3 but not in MVC 4

So, I added the property protected override bool DisableAsyncSupport to BaseController like so:

protected override bool DisableAsyncSupport
{
    get { return true; }
}

The obvious problem now is what to do when we get an async action? How can I detect if the controller action is synchronous VS asynchronous?

I need something like this, I think:

protected override bool DisableAsyncSupport
{
    get
    {
        if(actionIsSynchronous)
            return true;
        else
            return false

    }
}

Thanks for helping out!

Instead of using ExecuteCore you can try to use BeginExecuteCore

protected override IAsyncResult BeginExecuteCore(AsyncCallback callback, object state)
{
    return base.BeginExecuteCore(callback, state);
}

Another solution could be to override the Initialize method.

protected override void Initialize(RequestContext requestContext)
{
      //Put your code here
}
