Redirect to Action in another controller

Question

I have two controllers  both called AccountController   One of them  lets call it Controller A  is in an Area called Admin and the other  lets call it Controller B  is not in any Area  I guess that means it s in the default Area     Controller B has an action method called Login   I have an action method in Controller A  which has this line  return RedirectToAction  LogIn    Account      The problem is that I get a 404 when this line gets executed because an attempt is made to redirect to a non-existent action in Controller A   I want to call the action method in Controller B   Is this possible

You can supply the area in the routeValues parameter  Try this   return RedirectToAction  LogIn    Account   new   area    Admin        Or  return RedirectToAction  LogIn    Account   new   area            depending on which area you re aiming for

Use this   return RedirectToAction  LogIn    Account   new   area            This will redirect to the LogIn action in the Account controller in the  global  area    It s using this RedirectToAction overload   protected internal RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction      string actionName      string controllerName      Object routeValues     MSDN
