Question

I have a view user control that can post form. This control can be used on multiple views. If user enters invalid data i add errors to ModelState – as simple as that. The problem is that i don’t know which view/actionresult to return since i don’t know from where user post form. Ok, i can get urlreferer – but that does not look nice for me. Any idea?

Pass the info from your parent page to the controller.

<% RenderPartial('MyUserControl', new MyUserControlViewData() {     // pass parent page info here for user control to redirect to such as     Controller = 'Home',     Action = 'Index'     // or even better    ParentPath = ((WebFormView)this.ViewContext.View).ViewPath });
