How to pass data between asp.net mvc controllers?

Question

ASP.NET

There are 2 methods, generally located in different controllers:

public ActionResult FirstMethod()
{
    ...
    ViewBag.Message = "My message";
    return RedirectToAction("SecondMethod");
}

and

public ActionResult SecondMethod()
{
    ...
    return View();
}

How can I make the "SecondMethod" method view display the ViewBag.Message value?

Answer 1

Solved the problem by using the TempData property.

public ActionResult FirstMethod()
{
    ...
    TempData["Message"] = "My message";
    return RedirectToAction("SecondMethod");
}

public ActionResult SecondMethod()
{
    ...
    ViewBag.Message = TempData["Message"];    
    return View();
}

Answer 2

There is no studio at hand to check, but try calling something like
return View("~/Views/SecondControllerName/MyView") in the first controller with the
full path
