How do I redirect within a ViewResult or ActionResult function?

Question

Say I have:

public ViewResult List() {}

inside this function, I check if there is only one item in the list, if there is I'd like to redirect straight to the controller that handles the list item, otherwise I want to display the List View.

How do I do this? Simply adding a RedirectToAction doesn't work - the call is hit but VS just steps over it and tries to return the View at the bottom.

You probably need to return RedirectToAction instead of just calling the RedirectToAction. Just a guess, we could be more specific if you post the code.
