How to redirect to seperate View from ajax get

Question

So my question is similar to this SO post but I can not simply overwrite the document.

I'm using MVC and am able to call a controller's entry point from a View other than it's own.

the View (Say, ViewA) has a dialog, defined as:

$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            resizable: false,
            height: 390,
            width: 402,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Confirm": function () {

                    $.ajax({
                        type: "GET",
                        url: '/Result/Result', 
                        data: $(this).serialize(),
                        success: function(data)
                        {
                            window.location.href = "<%:Url.Action("~/Result/Result")%>";
                        }
                    });

                    $(this).dialog("close");
                },
                cancel: function(){ $(this).close();}}
           });

When I confirm the dialog, I hit the entry point I wanted to in the ResultsController, but then my browser navigates to localhost:8000/ViewA/~/Result/Result instead of localhost:8000/Result/Result

ResultController.cs

public ActionResult Result()
{            
     return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

How can I redirect to the page returned by Result() in the different controller?

whyy can't you just use the string `"/Result/Result"` ? Or return the proper url in response? — charlietfl, Apr 16 '15 at 19:49
Try changing your `Url.Action` to read `Url.Action("Result", "Result")` — David Tansey, Apr 16 '15 at 19:53

Change

Url.Action("~/Result/Result")

To

Url.Action("Result", "Result")
