Error: The view 'xx' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations... on logon?

Question

In view logon, log on with.

User: admin Password: xxx

I can log in normally.

When you try to:

User: tavaresdemelo.adv.br Password: xx

The error is displayed:

The view 'tavaresdemelo.adv.br' or ITS master was not found or the view engine supports the searched locations. The Following Were searched locations: ~ / Views / account / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.aspx ~ / Views / account / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.ascx ~ / Views / Shared / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.aspx ~ / Views / Shared / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.ascx ~ / Views / account / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.cshtml ~ / Views / account / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.vbhtml ~ / Views / Shared / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.cshtml ~ / Views / Shared / tavaresdemelo.adv.br.vbhtml

    {
        if (Membership.ValidateUser(userName, password))
        {
            FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, false);
            if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl) && returnUrl.Length > 1 && returnUrl.StartsWith("/")
                && !returnUrl.StartsWith("//") && !returnUrl.StartsWith("/\\"))
                return Redirect(returnUrl);
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
        }
        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Usuário ou senha estão inválidos");
    }

    // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form

Answer 1

This line

return View(userName);

tells the framework to load a view called userName (or in this case tavaresdemelo.adv.br). That is why you are getting the error that it can't find the view called tavaresdemelo.adv.br.aspx, etc. I think what you're trying to do would be

return View();

or

return View("logon");

or whatever the name of the view you're trying to reload is.

I hope that helps!

Answer 2

For other instances of this error, return View("logon") does not work for me. I have found out that return RedirectToAction("View", "Controller") does solve this issue.
