RedirectToAction between areas?

Question

Is there a way to redirect to a specific action/controller on a different Area?

Solution 1

Did you try this?:

return RedirectToAction("action", "controller", new { area = "area" });

Solution 2

Your answer was helpful to me. Just wanted to add below:

If you want to redirect from one area to another area, above code works well.

And, if you want to redirect from one area to a controller/view which is not there in the area folder (i.e. in most cases, your front end), you can specify area = "".

i.e.

return RedirectToAction("action", "controller", new { area = "" });

Solution 3

Try this

return RedirectToAction("ActionName", "AreaName/ControllerName");

I am not seeing this work when I go from an area back to the main app. Area=""??

@MvcCMsJon return RedirectToAction("action", "controller", new { area = "" }); should do it.
