Open .aspx page with report controller in MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have an MVC .cshtml page with a button. It's in a grid and I am passing the row ids to the controller using the jquery
<button type="submit" id="btn_View" name="view"
class="btn_View">
$(".btn_View_Question").click(function () {
var json = [];
var obj = {};
var rowID = $(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
obj.RowId= rowID ;
console.log(obj);
json.push(obj)
var responseDetails = JSON.stringify(json);
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/View",
type: "POST",
data: responseDetails,
dataType: "json",
traditional: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
});
});
In the controller class I am redirecting to a aspx report page as follows
public RedirectResult ViewQuestionnaire(string[] id)
{
var reportParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
reportParameters.Add("ID", id[0]);
Session["reportParameters"] = reportParameters;
return Redirect("../Reports/ViewQuestionarie.aspx");
}
The aspx page is not loading. When I debug it the page_load of the aspx page also executing. What might the wrong thing I am doing here

Answer 1

Redirect is going to return a 302 response with the new url as the location header value.You should not be making the call to an action method which returns a 302 response from an ajax call.
Looks like you want to set some data to Session. You may use your ajax call to still do that part. Instead of returning a 302 response,return a json data structure with the url you want the browser to be redirected.
public ActionResult ViewQuestionnaire(string[] id)
{
var reportParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
reportParameters.Add("ID", id[0]);
Session["reportParameters"] = reportParameters;
return Json(new {status = "success", url="../Reports/ViewQuestionarie.aspx"});
}
And in the success / done event of the ajax call, you can read the url property of the json response coming back and use that to do the redirection.
$.ajax({
//Omitted some parameters
success: function(res) {
if (res.status === "success") {
window.location.href = res.url;
}
}
});
