MVC 5 - Redirect to a controller from anywhere

Question

I am developing a MVC 5 internet application, and I wish to redirect to a controller/action result from anywhere in my application.

The controller name is "Manager", and the action result is "TestAction"

In an action result, the following code can be used:

RedirectToAction("TestAction", "Manager")

I have also coded a filter attribute as follows:

filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult( new RouteValueDictionary{{ "controller", "Manage" }, { "action", "TestAction" } });

Is there a generic way to send the user to a specific controller, action result from anywhere in a MVC application? I specifically wish to do this in an extension method.

Thanks in advance.

You can do it by simply Response.Redirect (taking the domain path and append the url).

Did you try the answer like this one https://stackoverflow.com/a/18126733/713789

Thank you. Is it possible to redirect from an extension method? – Simon Dec 16 '14 at 07:51
Yes, Through Pass context. Remember it's must be done before Response.End – Anirudha Gupta Dec 16 '14 at 07:54
Can you please explain what you mean by through Pass context? – Simon Dec 16 '14 at 13:18
Where is your Extension method ?, If you are in Controller or Global.Asax then you can try Filtercontext ,RequestContext,ControllerContext – Anirudha Gupta Dec 16 '14 at 13:51
The extension method is in a static class called ExtensionMethods. – Simon Dec 17 '14 at 05:00

In your controller you can use RedirectToAction("TestAction", "Manager") to redirect and in your view you can write windows.location.href("Manager","TestAction").

What i've done in such cases:

Dictionary<string, object> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
//
//...add parameters...

dictionary.Add("controller", "ControllerName");//ex: Home for HomeController
dictionary.Add("action", "MyMethod");
return RedirectToRoute("Default", dictionary);//"Default" is the name of the rout you're using
