  How to return to previous view?

  Aug 20, 2009 03:46 AM|LINK

  There are 2 views in my mvc app that show a list of items. Both provide the ability to edit them by redirecting to a Edit view. How can I provide a back link on the Edit form that takes the user back to the list they were on?

  create a hidden field in Edit view and save the UrlReferer in it. On postback use this field value to track the back address.

  <%=Html.Hidden("UrlReferer",Request.Form["UrlReferer"]??Request.UrlReferer.ToString())%>

  Thanks everyone. I ended up using this

  <a href="<%=Request.UrlReferrer.ToString()%>">Go back</a>
