In a View, code like this will generate the right URL to jump to controller's action method based on the routes in your global.asax.cs file.
<%= Html.ActionLink("text", "action", "controller") %>
My question is how can I achieve a similar route-to-URL mapping outside a view, such as a Controller? There is no Html member on the Controller class on which to call ActionLink.
Some controller actions need to redirect the browser, and I want to redirect to a controller and action without hard-wiring the URL into the controller, which would break if I changed the way my routes mapped these URLs to controllers and actions
Best Answer
What you are looking for is
RedirectToAction
.If you want just the url, use the
Url
property of the controller - its a UrlHelper.
