How redirect to different view of same controller class?

Karan Thakkar

I have a ActionMethod which I called on Submit button

public Submit ActionResult(Employee emp)

{

emp object has all data like name,emailid, mobileNo etc

--calling business layer to insert data in database

i want to return a view here which is of same controller class I tried it in following ways

return view("ViewName",emp);

in this case i dont have any action name and I redirected to view successfully

but the problem is when I refresh that view it hits to Submits and again entry is made in

database.

return RedirectToAction("ActionName",ViewName,emp);

here i have action which redirects to same view i.e "ViewName"

but in this case it fails to redirect

}

Thanks.

Hi,
Many way to do this.
return RedirectToAction("Index",Testing);
                        or
return RedirectToAction("Testing2", new {id="pijush"});
                        or
return RedirectToAction("NotAuthorized");

Hello!
Which view you going to return?
Does the action method that return the view accept the empId as parameter?
then if answer is yes
you can use RedirectToAction
return RedirectToAction("ActionName", new{empId = emp.EmpId});
