Redirect from one Area's action to a action in the "root"-area?

Question

I use the latest version of ASP.Net MVC 2 RC.

My question is, how do I redirect from one action that's in the "Blog"-area to the index-action in the home-controller that exists in the "root" of my application (no area)?

I tried:

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

but this redirects to /Blog/home, where Blog is the name of my Area.

Try this:

return RedirectToAction("index", "home", new { area = "" });

Thank you, it worked. However, the ViewData seems to get lost :S I'll use Sessions instead :) – Mickel Jan 13 '10 at 19:54

If using the default routing this should work too, not sure what happens to the ViewData.

return Redirect("~/");

This doesn't work for me, but I didn't downvote because it might do for someone else. – Rob Kent Oct 18 '11 at 11:06
