How to redirect to root controller action method from an area controller in .net core mvc application?

Question

I need to redirect to root controller action method from an area controller in Asp.Net Core MVC application. I'm trying to use

return RedirectToAction("Actionname","ControllerName",modelObject)

But this is trying to locate the controller in the area itself, which is not present and I'm getting a 404 error. How to resolve this?

Try like below.

return RedirectToAction("Actionname", "ControllerName", new { area = "" });

Also you can not pass modelObject to RedirectToAction as per the ControllerBase.RedirectToAction Method documentation
