RedirectToAction returns to calling Action

Inside my Index action I call my NotFound Action. I follow in debug and the if condition tests true, it goes to the "return RedirectToAction("NotFound");" statement, it then goes to Dispose and then returns to the Index Action not the NotFound Action. If I Redirect to the Details Action it works fine. These are all in the same controller. The NotFound View just contains text.

if (condition tests true) { return RedirectToAction("NotFound"); } 

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

I've also tried the NotFound as a ViewResult. It still fails.

You can return the NotFound View directly from your Index action

public ActionResult Index()
{      
  if(yourcondition)
  {
     return View("NotFound");
  }
  else
  {
     // Return the Index View.
     return View();
  }  
}

This will work as long as there is a view named "NotFound.cshtml"
