Question

I’m migrating an old ASP.NET Web Forms app to ASP.NET MVC 4. I’m not very familiar with ASP.NET MVC, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. In short, my ASP.NET Web Forms app used the following line of code to redirect the user when the logged in:

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(username, true);

I assumed I could just copy and paste this code over. However, I noticed that it attempt to redirect the user to “default.aspx”. What is the MVC equivalent of this call?

Thank you!

You have complete sample here : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/cd3310/using-mvc-Asp-Net-tools-create-simple-login-form/

View with controller with specific action

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Login(YourModel model)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return View("Login", model);
        }

        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
