Redirect to Action in another controller

Question

I have two controllers, both called AccountController. One of them, lets call it Controller A, is in an Area called Admin

Answer 1

Use this:

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account", new { area = "" });

This will redirect to the LogIn action in the Account controller in the "global" area.

It's using this RedirectToAction overload:

protected internal RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction(
    string actionName,
    string controllerName,
    Object routeValues
)
