MVC 5 - RedirectToAction Not Redirecting

Hi I have a problem with my RedirectToAction not redirecting. My code successfully hits a breakpoint placed on the Redirect so I can confirm it is being called. Nothing seems to happen however.

I have tried looking at the network traffic in Chrome and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious. I must be missing something simple!

    //
    // POST: /Blog/CreateBlog
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult CreateBlog(BlogViewModel model)
    {
        var userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();
        model.UserId = userId;

        if (ModelState.IsValid && model.UserId != null)
        {
            Mapper.CreateMap<BlogViewModel, Blog>();
            if (_blogProcess.CreateBlog(Mapper.Map<BlogViewModel, Blog>(model)))
            {
                RedirectToAction("Index", "Blog");
            }
        }

        // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
        return View(model);
    }

  1. If you are using @using(Html.BeginForm("Index","Blog"..) on the view page then 

    public ActionResult CreateBlog(BlogViewModel model)
{
    ....
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Blog") 
}

    should work.

  2. If you are using Ajax.BeginForm, then you need to redirect to a new action/url from javascript OnSuccess event. sample code for your view

    @using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", "Blog", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "post" , OnSuccess="RedirectFunction"}

function RedirectFunction(data)
{
    window.location.href = “Index”;
}

Hope this helps.
