How to redirect to Index from another controller?

Question

I have been looking through trying to find some way to redirect to an Index view from another controller.

public ActionResult Index()
{                  


        

Answer 1

try:

public ActionResult Index() {
    return RedirectToAction("actionName");
    // or
    return RedirectToAction("actionName", "controllerName");
    // or
    return RedirectToAction("actionName", "controllerName", new {/* routeValues, for example: */ id = 5 });
}

and in .cshtml view:

@Html.ActionLink("linkText","actionName")

OR:

@Html.ActionLink("linkText","actionName","controllerName")

OR:

@Html.ActionLink("linkText", "actionName", "controllerName", 
    new { /* routeValues forexample: id = 6 or leave blank or use null */ }, 
    new { /* htmlAttributes forexample: @class = "my-class" or leave blank or use null */ })

Notice using null in final expression is not recommended, and is better to use a blank new {} instead of null
