Introduction

This tip lists different redirection techniques for MVC4.

1. HTML Tag
    Collapse | Copy Code

   <input type="button" value="Forgot Password" 
   onclick="window.location.href('@Url.Action("ForgotPassword","Account")')" />

      
2. For posting, you could use a form:
    Collapse | Copy Code

   <form method="post" id="signin" action="@Url.Action("ForgotPassword", "Account")">
   <input type="button" value="Forgot Password" />
   </form>

      
3. Using script:
    Collapse | Copy Code

   <script type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function () {     
         $('#btnForgotPassword').click(function (e)      {
             location.href = '@Url.Content("~/Account/ForgotPassword/")';
         });
       });
   </script>
   //change below input tag
   <input id='btnForgotPassword' type="button" value="Forgot Password" />

      
4. If it is a link:
    Collapse | Copy Code

   @Html.ActionLink("some text", "actionName", "controllerName")

      
5. For posting, use a form:
    Collapse | Copy Code

   @ using(Html.BeginForm("actionName", "controllerName")) { 
       <input type="submit" value="Some text" />
   }
