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" />
   }

      
6. For Anchor Tag:
    Collapse | Copy Code

   <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Controller/View" class="Button">Text</a>

SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery Method

JavaScript: Window Location

The window.location object can be written without the window prefix.

Some examples:

• location.href returns the href (URL) of the current page
• location.hostname returns the domain name of the web host
• location.pathname returns the path and filename of the current page
• location.protocol returns the web protocol used (http:// or https://)
• location.assign loads a new document

Do Not Declare String, Number, and Boolean as Objects!

When a JavaScript variable is declared with the keyword "new", the variable is created as an object:

var x = new String();          // Declares x as a String object
var y = new Number();          // Declares y as a Number object
var z = new Boolean();         // Declares z as a Boolean object

JavaScript: Window Screen

The window.screen object contains information about the user's screen.

Very old computers, and old cell phones used 8 bits ("VGA colors").
