redirect from action inside controller?

Question

MVC - instead of creating a VM and passing in the values and drawing the view. i want to redirect to a URL using the values as parameters....so

instead of:

var model = new AvailabilityStepOneOfBookingVM(bookingQuery, 
                     ListOfBookings, chosenDate, foodPodId);

return View(model);

I want to load the URL:

http://localhost:40310/OrchardLocal/Food/FoodPodAvailability/
          StepOneOfBooking/(value of foodPodId)/(value of chosenDate)

redirect to action? directly from here or create a view and redirect from there?

Answer 1

You can use Redirect

string url = string.Format("/OrchardLocal/Food/FoodPodAvailability" + 
                           "/StepOneOfBooking/{1}/{0}", chosenDate, foodPodId)

return Redirect(url);

Answer 2

Try this

 string url = string.Format("/OrchardLocal/Food/FoodPodAvailability" + 
                       "/StepOneOfBooking/{1}/{0}", chosenDate, foodPodId)


 return RedirectToAction(url);
