how to redirect to another action in same controller?

Question

i want to redirect to another action in same controller. how can we achieve this? i tried like return

RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized");

Solution 1

return RedirectToAction("ActionName");

Instead of return Redirect("/Elearning/NotAuthorized"); do this:

return RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized"); // if you're inside the Elearning controller

or

RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized", "Elearning"); // if calling from other controller

Solution 2

Try

return RedirectToAction("SomeAction");

Solution 3

If you want to return a redirect

return RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized");

is the valid way to do this. Make sure that your method actually exists.

Alternatively, if you don't want a redirect

return View("NotAuthorized");

works as well.

return RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized"); public ActionResult NotAuthorized() { int userId = GetCurrentUserID(); this is how i write in contoller.. ViewBag.ViewList = _menuViewUtility.GetViewList(userId); ViewBag.MenuList = _menuViewUtility.GetMenuList(userId, ViewSession.ViewId); return View(); }

public ActionResult NotAuthorized() { int userId = GetCurrentUserID(); ViewBag.ViewList = _menuViewUtility.GetViewList(userId); ViewBag.MenuList = _menuViewUtility.GetMenuList(userId, ViewSession.ViewId); return View(); }
