How can I redirect to a URL?

How can I redirect the viewer to a URL?

I noticed that someone asked How to redirect to another webpage in JavaScript/jQuery?, but I\'m not exactly sure where this

Answer 1

Inside your controller call return RedirectToAction().

public ActionResult MyAction() {

    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

or, it you use T4MVC (and you should ;-))

public ActionResult MyAction() {

    return RedirectToAction(MVC.Home.Index());
}

Do not put the if statement in the view - that's not the MVC way. It is the responsibility of the controller to decide whether to redirect to a different view.
