How to signout user in asp.net MVC 5?

I'm trying to sign out a user when a session object don't exist with following code in my View:

FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

But this doesn't work - the user is already authenticated.

I've seen that the default LogOff Controller Action use this code to signout a user:

AuthenticationManager.SignOut();

But I can't use this code in my view.

So how can I logout a user in my View? Or when it's not possible how can I do this in a Controller?

Thanks for help :)

You would be doing this in a controller, for instance in a separate action like LogOut(). After you've done your logout, redirect the user to the front page (for instance).

Then you simply make a link to that action.

The view is not a place to contain anything but purely simple presentational logic, like if statements or for loops. Controllers should take care of application behaviour like logging out.
