Redirect to external URI from ASP.NET MVC controller

If you're talking about ASP.NET MVC then you should have a controller method that returns the following:

return Redirect("http://www.google.com");

Otherwise we need more info on the error you're getting in the redirect. I'd step through to make sure the url isn't empty.


Using JavaScript

 public ActionResult Index()
 {
    return Content("<script>window.location = 'http://www.example.com';</script>");
 }

Note: As @Jeremy Ray Brown said , This is not the best option but you might find useful in some situations.

Hope this helps.
