I am learning ASP MVC , thus new to TDD and MVC frameworks. I find an issue while writing mock TestMethod for testing a Action inside the Controller, that ” RedirectToAction” in its body.

Writing the testMethod to make sure the redirected Action is correct. I read it’s possible to check with RedirectToRouteResult.RouteValues, and getting value for “action” key. Even in debug (watching down to the properties) I am able to get it correct. But @ compile time the test is showing exception Cannot apply Indexing with [] to an expression of type RedirectToRouteResult.RouteValues.

Following is the code snippet for the reference:

public void TestHomeControllerContactRedirectRoute()
        {
            HomeController controller = new HomeController();
            ContactMessage message=new ContactMessage(){

                Email="abc@xyz.com",
                MessageBody="Some message here!!",
                Name="Sun"
            };

            RedirectToRouteResult resultRoute = controller.Contact(message) as RedirectToRouteResult;

            if (resultRoute != null)
            {

                Assert.AreEqual("Contact", resultRoute.RouteValues["action"]);
            }
        }
