mvc view results:

return View() - will return a view named the same as the action method from the corresponding path of the controller HomeContoller and Action Index will look in ~/Views/Home/ and ~/Views/Shared/ for Index.cshtml or Index.vbhtml

return View("AltIndex") - will return a view named the same as the view specified by the string from the corresponding path of the controller HomeContoller will look in ~/Views/Home/ and ~/Views/Shared/ for a view named AltIndex.cshtml or AltIndex.vbhtml

return View("~/Views/SpecialIndex.cshtml") - will return the view specified by the string and will return ~/Views/SpecialIndex.cshtml

You can also write alternate view engines that provide alternate paths/search routines, the above is based on the out-of-box behavior

Try return RedirectToAction("Index") for example. This should get you to where you wish to go.

Redirect by Route

Return RedirectToRoute("Stuff");

Redirect by Action

RedirectToAction("Index", "Stuff");

Redirect by Specific Folder and files
