return new RedirectResult() vs return Redirect()

Question

What is the difference between the following two controller ActionResult return statements:

return new RedirectResult(\"http://www.google.com\", false);
<         


        

Answer 1

They do the same thing. The Redirect method of the controller creates a new RedirectResult. If you instantiate the RedirectResult you also have the ability to add a parameter which determines whether the redirect is permanent (or not).
