I'm in the middle of developing an e-commerce site that is using Paypal as it's payment gateway. All I want to do is run some code before the user heads off to Paypal, but I have no idea how to do it. Eg:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult GoToPaypal(FormCollection collection)
{
    //do what I want to do

    //go to paypal
}

Can you do this? Example HTML and C# would be lovely :)
