Redirect to Action in another controller

Use this:

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account", new { area = "" });

This will redirect to the LogIn action in the Account controller in the "global" area.

It's using this RedirectToAction overload:

protected internal RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction(
    string actionName,
    string controllerName,
    Object routeValues
)

MSDN

You can use this:

return RedirectToAction("actionName", "controllerName", new { area = "Admin" });

You can supply the area in the routeValues parameter. Try this:

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account", new { area = "Admin" });

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account", new { area = "" });

depending on which area you're aiming for.
