I have a requirement which needs me to redirect an user to previous page on his browsing history. I am using ASP.net MVC 1.0. I do NOT want to use javascript to achieve this. Any pointers?

You can take a parameter "returnUrl" in your action, and then return a RedirectResult. It should do.
For info, take a look at the Account controller, from the default template ASP.NET MVC project on VS2008.

this will only work for pages within his site.

You can use the Request.UrlReferrer property to render out a link. Maybe like this:
<a href="<%= Request.UrlReferrer %>">Back</a>

This will not work if the browser blocks the referrer... and many people seem to do that nowadays!

I've never had that problem to be honest - i guess the OP will have to decide whether this is a risk for his site though

It's fairly common to block the referrer when you are behind a corporate firewall.
