Redirect from one Area's action to a action in the "root"-area?

Question

I use the latest version of ASP.Net MVC 2 RC.

My question is, how do I redirect from one action that's in the "Blog"-area to the index-action in the home-controller that exists in the "root" of my application (no area)?

I tried:

return RedirectToAction("index", "home"); 

but this redirects to /Blog/home, where Blog is the name of my Area.

Answer 1

Try this:

return RedirectToAction("index", "home", new { area = "" }); 

Answer 2

If using the default routing this should work too, not sure what happens to the ViewData.

return Redirect("~/");
