Asp.Net MVC 5, View not posting back to the controller - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am creating a simple login form using Asp.Net MVC 5. Everything is fine but when I click on submit button after giving User Id and Password, the view does not go back to the desired Controller Action (LogIn). Here is the Action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LogIn(User user)
{
var auth_user = CheckAuthentication(user);
if(auth_user!=null)
{
Session["user"] = new User() { UserId = user.UserId, Name = user.Name };
return RedirectToAction("Index", "User");
}
return View();
}
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult LogIn()
{
return View();
}
and the view:
#model FinancialManagement.Models.User
#{
ViewBag.Title = "LogIn";
}
<h2>LogIn</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm("LogIn", "User", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>User</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserId, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserId)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserId)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Password, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Password)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Log In" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
This is my complete User controller:
[Authorize]
public class UserController : Controller
{
private FinancialManagmentEntities db = new FinancialManagmentEntities();
// GET: /User/
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(db.Users.ToList());
}
// GET: /User/Details/5
public ActionResult Details(string id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
User user = db.Users.Find(id);
if (user == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(user);
}
// GET: /User/Create
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
// POST: /User/Create

return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(user);
}
ActionResult LogOut()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
User CheckAuthentication(User user)
{
return db.Users.Where(u => u.UserId == user.UserId && u.Password == user.Password).FirstOrDefault();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult LogIn(User user)
{
var auth_user = CheckAuthentication(user);

return RedirectToAction("Index", "User");
}
return View();
}
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult LogIn()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Edit(string id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
User user = db.Users.Find(id);
if (user == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(user);
}
// POST: /User/Edit/5
// To protect from overposting attacks, please enable the specific properties you want to bind to, for

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include="UserId,Name,Password")] User user)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Entry(user).State = EntityState.Modified;
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(user);
}
// GET: /User/Delete/5
public ActionResult Delete(string id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
User user = db.Users.Find(id);
if (user == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(user);
}
// POST: /User/Delete/5
[HttpPost, ActionName("Delete")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult DeleteConfirmed(string id)
{
User user = db.Users.Find(id);
db.Users.Remove(user);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
db.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}

Answer 1

Try to specify the View's Name and your Model like that :
return View("NameOfView", YourModel);
If it doesn't work put the absolute path :
return View("~/Views/FolderName/ViewName.cshtml");
