Say I have a controller called "HomeController" which inherits from Mvc.Controller. Also say I have written the constructor of the controller and some filters for some actions.

Public Class ClientController
    Inherits System.Web.Mvc.Controller

    Public Sub New()
        ''Some code
    End Sub

    <SomeActionFilter()> _
    Function Index() As ActionResult
        Return View()
    End Function
End Class

My questions are :

1. What is the order of execution of constructor, filter, action?
2. Can I have a filter for the Constructor, if I do not want to run the code in it by checking for some conditions?
