Question

I am checking if a user is authenticated, and need to direct to a different view if the user is not autheticated.

public ActionResult UserMaintenance()
{

  if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
  {
    return View();
  }
  else
  {
    LogOn.View;   //// this is the area that needs help
  }
}

I would like to present the user the view to enter the login and password….

thank you

You can use RedirectToAction to any action in any controller.

return RedirectToAction("Action", "Controller");

As you are using ASP.net MVC you can redirect it to LogOn action in Account controller

public ActionResult UserMaintenance()
{

  if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
  {
    return View();
  }
  else
  {
    return RedirectToAction("LogOn", "Account");   
  }
}
