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())%>

Hi,

You can redirect the page with Appending PageName Querystring parameter url on click of edit button

for Ex:-

http://localhost/MyController/EditView/2/PageName=1stPage

http://localhost/MyController/EditView/2/PageName=2ndPage

Thanks everyone. I ended up using this

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