Redirect to external URI from ASP.NET MVC controller

I'm trying to redirect to external url from an action method but can't get it to work. Can anybody shed some light on my error?

public void ID(string id)
    {
        string url = string.Empty;
        switch (id)
        {
            case "DB2FCB11-579F-4DA2-A68C-A6495B9BAAB5":

                url = "http://www.somesite.com";
                break;
        }
        Response.Redirect(url, true);
    }

Thanks, Chris

If you're talking about ASP.NET MVC then you should have a controller method that returns the following:

return Redirect("http://www.google.com");

Otherwise we need more info on the error you're getting in the redirect. I'd step through to make sure the url isn't empty.

Using JavaScript

 public ActionResult Index()
 {
    return Content("<script>window.location = 'http://www.example.com';</script>");
 }

Note: As @Jeremy Ray Brown said , This is not the best option but you might find useful in some situations.

Hope this helps.

Maybe the solution someone is looking for is this:

Response.Redirect("/Sucesso")

This work when used in the View as well.

Try this (I've used Home controller and Index View):

return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
