Hi,, all
I want to capture the error code: 401 (user not authorized and i want to send the user to a particular View)...

please review my code and suggest me..thnx in advance...

What I have tried:

This is my Web.config file

XML

<customErrors mode="On">
  <error statusCode="401" redirect="~/Home/SecureMethod"/>

This is my Action Method, i've labeled it with [Authorize] filter

C#

[Authorize]
public ActionResult SecureMethod()
{
  return View();
}

This is my View

Razor

@{
  ViewBag.Title = "SecureMethod";
}
<h2>You are not authorized to view this page...please contact admin!!</h2>

I googled "mvc custom 401" and found a few suggestions for solving this, I advise you do the same and if you still can't get it working update your question detailing what approaches you tried that didn't work.

You are trying to display an error in case user not authorized to access some resource, but your error page requires authorized user, otherwise it does not display (and probably generates an 401 error)...
Remove [Authorize] from your action...
