How to Redirect to Another Action in an Action.

Question

I'm trying to change the current view via controller.

public ActionResult login(string str)
{
  if(str=="true")
  {
    return View("index");
  }
  else
  {
    return View("error");
  }
}

public ActionResult index()
{
  return View();
}

public ActionResult error()
{
  return View();
}

I have all this actions in the same controller and the view files in the same directory.

is the primary intent here to determine if the user is allowed to access Index, or are you specifically attempting to determine the results of an if/else statement inside of an ActionMethod? — Neurothustra, Mar 21 '14 at 21:43
What you have will display either the index or error page when they access the /login page depending on the value of `str`. Was there something else you wanted to do? — Andy T, Mar 21 '14 at 22:04
i have my own backend library that turns me a response which i can see is it succeed or failed that corresponds to user can login or not.After i check user can login i want to navigate my user to my main page which is in an another view called it index. — Berk, Mar 21 '14 at 22:21

I think you're trying redirect to another action from one. You can use RedirectToAction(..) function the achive this.

For example, if your action defined like this:

public ActionResult Action1()
{
   /* code omitted */
}

You can redirect to it like this any where in an action:

return RedirectToAction("Action1");

If you want to redirect to an action which is in another controller, you can use

return RedirectToAction("Action1", "ControllerName");

If the action takes parameters, or route parameters you can use

return RedirectToAction("Action1", "ControllerName", new { param1 = value1, param2 = value2 });

BTW, If you're trying to implement an authentication mechanism, this is the wrong approach. You should use [Authorize] attribute or develop custom authentication. You can read this.

Since it appears that you are looking to validate a user before allowing them access to Index, MVC has a built-in class attribute that you can use which will reroute the user to a login form for you.

[Authorize]
public ActionResult Index()
{return View();}
