I am passing a Controller as a parameter, can't get to RedirectToAction method?

Question

My method looks like:

public static RedirectToResult(Controller controller, ...)
{

}

when I do:

controller.

I don't see RedirectToAction, how come?

I get RedirectToAction from within the controller's action, but not when I pass the controller as a parameter to another classes method. Why? really confused!

Answer 1

If you're looking for an extension method you need the 'this' keyword before the type.

    public static ActionResult RedirectToResult(this Controller controller)
    {

    }

Hope this helps

Answer 2

You could try out T4MVC. It will definitely help in making strongly typed Url helpers.

Answer 3

RedirectToAction is a protected function. You can only call it from inside the controller class.
