Redirecting to the View from controller

Hi I have two controllers and and two views in my application.

  1. Home Controller & Index View
  2. Susbcription Controller & Index View.

I have a save method in the Subscription Controller. I want to call the Home Controller/ Index View after the save is complete. When I do the following I get the page not found error.

return Redirect("Home/Index");

OR

return View("Home/Index");

Could somebody tell me why is the view not getting called ?

Thanks and regards Ranjit Menon

To add on top of Ehsan's answer, I want to point out how to pass parameters around if you need to do this in the future:

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult PaymentBillMe(string pledgeAmt, string month, string radioBtn, string btn) 
    { 
      return RedirectToAction("PaymentConfirm", new
                        {
                            paymentSelection = radioBtn,
                            paymentAmt = pledgeAmt,
                            selectedMonth = month
                        });
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult PaymentConfirm(string paymentSelection, string paymentAmt, string selectedMonth)
    {
     //Do something with parameters...
     return View();
    }

Here I am passing the radio button selection, pledge amount, and the selected month to the payment confirm method, doing something with those parameters and then returning that view.

you have to use RedirectToAction as mostly your action Return type is ActionResult :

return RedirectToAction("Index","Home");

or if you want to return simply view without action, then:

return View("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml");

See more details here

Note:

The second is not recommended you should use first one to redirect to Home/Index, you should not use Rediect in asp.net mvc you should use RedirectToAction
