RedirectToAction for areas?

Question

Hi, I have setup some areas, but I'm not sure how to Redirect to them via the RedirectToAction method. There doesn't seem to be any Area parameter I can feed it.

Thanks

You will need to use RedirectToRoute if you are trying to redirect to an ActionResult outside the current area. You will first want to make sure you have a route to the ActionResult you would like to redirect to registered for your area. The following article is helpful for this:

Once you have routes in place, you can do return RedirectToRoute("MyRouteName");
