I did this and it worked fine :)

  return Redirect("/B/index"); //assuming your controller is called BController.

KISS - keep it simple sweetie ;) just pass the url to redirect as string

You could try this:

return RedirectToAction("kiss", "meoghe");
// RedirectToAction("action name", "controller name"); 
// meogheController => "meoghe" is controller name

If you use ActionResult for return type on method, you must use return for RedirectToAction.

within your A controller add this in your action 

RedirectToAction(new {controller="B", action="index", id=11,variable="abc"});

that's if you want to send some parameters also ,but do not forget to have a route configured which can map the "variable" parameter as well. I think this is solved in now

It's probably the case you've reversed the parameter values in your call to RedirectToAction - remember it's action first, then controller. Don't forget that controller is "Home", too, not "HomeController".

If that still doesn't work - then you've got the action name wrong; or the action you're redirecting to has a filter (e.g. [HttpPost]) that's preventing it from being able to be used.
