Redirect user from controller to another view MVC

Question

I'm trying to redirect a user from a method on a controller to another view but can't get it to work no matter what I do. What am I doing wrong? Here's my code:

            public ActionResult SubmitReport(string JsonStringSend)
        {
            dynamic JSend = JObject.Parse(JsonStringSend);
            var schema = JsonSchema4.FromType<ReportItem>();
            var schemaData = schema.ToJson();
            var errors = schema.Validate(JSend.JsonString);
            schema = JsonSchema4.FromJson(schemaData);


            //Check for errors and show them if they exist
            if (errors.Count > 0)
            {
                //JSchema schema = JSchema.Parse(schema);
                foreach (var error in errors)
                    Console.WriteLine(error.Path + ": " + error.Kind);

                //JObject JsonString = JObject.Parse(JsonObj.JsonString.ToString());
                //JObject JsonStringSent = JObject.Parse(JsonStringSend);

            }
            else
            {
                return Redirect("/Admin/Reporting/ReportManagement");
            }
            return View();
        }

It never redirects. I've even tried these:

Response.Redirect(Url.Action("/ReportManagement"));
RedirectToRoute(new { contoller = "ReportManagement", action = "Reporting" });
return RedirectToRoute(new { contoller = "Reporting", action = "ReportManagement" });
return RedirectToAction("ReportManagement");

Nothing seems to redirect, what gives?

Answer 1

You don't redirect to a view, you redirect to an action or a route. If I'm correctly parsing the path you're attempting, where you have this:

return Redirect("/Admin/Reporting/ReportManagement")

should be

return RedirectToAction("Reporting", "ReportManagement", new { area="Admin" }) 

This assumes a Reporting action on a ReportManagementController class in the Admin area.
