RedirectToRoute doesn't go to controller

I am using RedirectToRoute in my API controller to redirect to MVC controller. I was unable to find a good solution other than this: 

return RedirectToRoute("Cv", new { action = "Cv/OpenCv" });

Previously I tried this below, but it didn't work. 

return RedirectToRoute("Cv", new { controller="Cv", action = "OpenCv" });

You can redirect from API controller to MVC controller by the help of below code. Please find below code for the above question.

public IHttpActionResult Index()
{
    var newUrl = this.Url.Link("Default", new
    {
        Controller = "Account",
        Action = "Register"
    });
    return Redirect(new Uri(newUrl.ToString(), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}

or follow the direct call from API Controller

public IHttpActionResult Index()
{
   return Redirect(new Uri("/Account/Register", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}

Please use the above code and let me know

Api and MVC Controllers use different Routes. RedirectToRoute in Api controller returns "System.Web.Http.Results.RedirectToRouteResult" but RedirectToRoute in Mvc Controller returns "System.Web.Mvc.RedirectToRouteResult". I think you can use just "Redirect" method in this case.

You can try to create an Mvc UrlHelper instance and use a RouteUrl method to build an Url from route parameters and then call Redirect method.
