ASP.NET Core RedirectToAction doesn't exit function?

Question

I have the following snippet

        if (hasRegistrations)
        {
            RedirectToAction("Manage");
        }

        return View();

Even thought RedirectToAction is executed, the execution still flows to return View();

How should this be handled correctly?

Answer 1

You need to return RedirectToAction("Manage");

Explanation:

The RedirectToAction method returns RedirectToRouteResult rather than immediately returning a HTTP redirect response. So you have to return the RedirectToRouteResult from the controller action. In your example execution is continuing and return View() is being run instead.
