RedirectToAction is not redirecting at all - asp.net-mvc

Question

i'm using RedirectToAction to redirect after a post to another controller and it's working. so i tried to Redirect to another action in the same controller and it's NOT working too.
public ActionResult finalize(int id)
{
Meeting meeting = db.Meetings.Find(id);
meeting.meetingStatus = "finalized";
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Meeting meeting)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Meetings.Add(meeting);
db.SaveChanges();
// return RedirectToAction("Invitation");
return (RedirectToAction("finalize", new { id = meeting.meetingID}));
}
return View(meeting);
}

Answer 1

you cant make 2 redirects in the same call , a redirect just return an http redirect code to another page , redirecting 2 times just wont work, don't treat action methods like normal methods they are different
for example when you request a page example.com/controller/action
action will be executed and for example it has a return value with RedirectToAction("NotFound")
what will happen in this scenario is
action body will be executed and the return value will send to the client an http header of 302 that says your new destination is /controller/NotFound
so RedirectToAction just return an http code to the client its not calling another method
Update
i was wrong i checked with fiddler2 , you can use redirect to action many times , what will happen the server will send multiple http redirect headers for each one
i jumped to conclusion this fast because i didnt think multiple redirect is the right way to do it, so after i tried it , i can say it works , just create a new project to see where is the problem exactly or use a tool like fiddler2
