Is there a way to redirect to a specific action/controller on a different Area?
Your answer was helpful to me. Just wanted to add below:
If you want to redirect from one area to another area, above code works well.
And, if you want to redirect from one area to a controller/view which is not there in the area folder (i.e. in most cases, your front end), you can specify area = "".
i.e.
return RedirectToAction("action", "controller", new { area = "" });
Did you try this?:
return RedirectToAction("action", "controller", new { area = "area" });
