redirect to a actionresult in mvc but not want to go to page by return view()

Question

i want a facility that if user login then goes to home/index

i not want to use

return view('~/views/home/index');

i want to redirect it to a actionresult index of home controller of my web-application(in asp.net mvc)

how i can do this without return view(); i want to redirect him.

public actionresult login

if(userlogin)
{
// goes to index page ? what i do here then user goes to index page of home controller
}
else
{
return view()
}

Solution

You could redirect:

return RedirectToAction("index");

and if the action is on a different controller specify the controller name as well:

return RedirectToAction("index", "home");

i used return Redirect("/home/index");

That's not good as you are hardcoding the route /home/index and the day you modify your route rules it will bite you.

Plus, return Redirect("/home/index"); fails as soon as you're running in a vroot. At least preface it with a "~", though doing the RedirectToAction(), as Darin pointed out, is much better.
