title: ASP.NET MVC - Cannot redirect to Create action
body: <p>I've had a look around at the other questions related to redirecting to views, and none seem to fix my issue. I have a intermediary step to get to my Create action, and I cannot seem to redirect from that step's view to the Create view. An approximation of my actual code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult SelectDependancy()
  {
      ViewBag.ProductID = new SelectList(db.Products, "ID", "Name");
      ViewBag.ComponentID = new SelectList(db.Components, "ID", "Name");
      return View();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The view for this action has a POST method that results in a call to <code>SelectDependancy(string, string)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This POST is a standard POST and not an js AJAX POST</p>
  
  <pre><code>[HttpPost]
  [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
  public void SelectDependancy(string ProductID, string ComponentID)
  {
      FilteredCreate(ProductID, ComponentID);
  }
  
  private ActionResult FilteredCreate(string ProductID, string ComponentID)
  {
      //Filter values based on ProductID + ComponentID
  
      return RedirectToAction("Create");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>return RedirectToAction("Create");</code> doesn't seem to work. I have also tried changing it to <code>return View("Create")</code> (changing the return type of the method as well)</p>
