    text
    copied!<p>Given the controller below</p> <pre><code>public class MyController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } public ActionResult Test() { return RedirectToRoute(new { action = "Index" }); } } </code></pre> <p>And this routing</p> <pre><code>public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( "Route1", "Route1", new {controller = "Account", action = "Index"}); routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults ); } </code></pre> <p>When I browse to My/Test then MyController's Test Action is hit as expected. Then the <code>RedirectToRoute</code> result uses Route1 as I have specified the Action as "Index". And as I didn't specify a Controller it defaults to "Account". This hits the AccountController's Index Action as expected</p> <p>If I change the routing to the code below then it works differently and not as I expect. When I browse to My/Test then this redirects to MyController's Index Action and not HomeController's Index Action.</p> <pre><code>routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }); </code></pre> <p>I know when <code>RedirectToAction</code> is used then MVC will infer the current Controller so this would redirect to MyController's Index Action but code comments in the MVC source says <code>RedirectToRoute</code> doesn't infer the current Controller and I have hopefully proved this with the 1st example.</p> <p>Anybody have any idea why this is happening?</p>
