return View() not working inside controller

I am using ASP.NET MVC C#. I have my view with the following line of code:

@using (Html.BeginForm("TastingParty", "Contact"))

I am submitting to a different controller and action than the current page is on so I had to add a custom controller and action in that line. Now it gets to my controller and at the bottom of the method I call "return View();" so it will display the same page again. But it is looking for that view in the Contact controller because that is where I sent it.

How do I return the original View that it came from? Hopefully that all makes sense.

You can either use return RedirectToAction(...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.controller.redirecttoaction(v=vs.118).aspx

Or, if you want to be able to reuse the view across different controllers, you can place it in the Views\Shared folder.

In the latter case, you then have the ability to return the posted model back out to that view.

public ActionResult YourAction(YourViewModel postedModel) {

    // do something

    return View(postedModel);
}

And again, if you want this to be a shared view, you could place it under Views\Shared\YourAction.cshtml.
