I have the Index page where there is an Html.ActionLink. This link is calling a function in the controller and creating a csv file into the local user drive. at the end of the function, i am trying to refresh the page, after the file was downloaded. I tried "return View()" And redirect, both doesn't work since i'm already on the index page and i want to stay there. Any ideas? Html:

<div class="col-6 text-right">
    <p>@Html.ActionLink("Export Unshipped To CSV", "ExportToCSV")</p>
</div>

Thank you very much! :)

    I don't think there's a way to know when the file has been downloaded so there's no event that you can hook into. You could just use JS to reload the page after X seconds - [as shown in this SO post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27835326/2008963) – Lee Booker Oct 16 '20 at 14:07
  • How can i activate the JS Function after the link was pressed? – Kobi Oct 16 '20 at 14:11

    You need to add a binding on your div element. Look at the fiddler link on the post I linked you to :) – Lee Booker Oct 16 '20 at 14:13

You can use return RedirectToAction("Index"); for reloading Index page.
