I have two actions in different controllers, Action1 calling Action2 view.
Is there a way to come back after seconds to Action1 to continue?
Action 1:
//POST - CREATE
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create(CreateEditInstitutionViewModel model)
{
.............................
_db.Request.Add(request);
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("ShowMessagePage", new RouteValueDictionary(new { Controller = "MessagePage", Action = "ShowMessagePage", myMsg = "heloo", i = true }));
//i want to comeback here to continue
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
Action2:
public IActionResult ShowMessagePage(string myMsg,bool isDone)
{
if(isDone)
return View(new MessageViewModel { msg=myMsg}); // i want to go back to Action1
return NotFound();
}
If you want to get the message and then go back to index after a few seconds , why you do not just finish this in action1? Because the parameters of action2 are all from action1, you can merge them together.
and the way to set the interval is to use js in ShowMessagePage View:

Then pass the url as a parameter to the show page. It can then redirect back to the original page.

Hi,Amani Ai
If you want to get the message and then go back to index after a few seconds , why you do not just finish this in action1? Because the parameters of action2 are all from action1, you can merge them together.
and the way to set the interval is to use js in ShowMessagePage View:
@model MessageViewModel @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.msg) @section Scripts { <script> $(document).ready(function () { window.setTimeout(function () { window.location.href = '/MessagePage/Index'; }, 1000); }); </script> }Best Regards,

It makes little sense to do it all in the one method like you do.
If you have a message you want to display after the operation, you probaly should pass the message to the page you want to go to after.
so if you want to go to the index page, then send the message to the index page and display it there.
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index), new { message = "created something awesome!"});} public IActionResult Index(string message = null) { ViewBag.Message = message; return View(); } in view: @if(ViewBag.Message != null) { <p>ViewBag.Message</p> }
