How can I make an MVC POST return me to the previous page?

Question

I have the following action which is called from a screen with a list of records.

    [HttpPost]
    //[Authorize(Roles = \"admin\")]
    public ActionResul

Based off the code you've given, it looks like you've got a paginated screen, with the ability to click edit on each row. Here's how I've solved this problem in the past.

On the Index page, when the page loads, whether it be from the main index or a paging method, add the following:

Session["CurrentUrl"] = Request.Url.ToString();

So now, at the end of the POST method for your edit page, do:

return Session["CurrentUrl"] == null ?
    Index() :
    Redirect(Session["CurrentUrl"]);
