String will return only string value not redirect anywhere. 1) If you change string to ViewResult then it will redirect directly. 2) Otherwise you have to call this LogOut() by ajax request and return some data to ajax success callback. then redirect page in javascript code. like below... return url from controller action as string value... public string LogOut(Login log) { using (simpleEntities dbContext = new simpleEntities()) { int ID = Convert.ToInt32(log.ID); Login s_data = dbContext.Logins.Where(x => x.ID == ID).FirstOrDefault(); log.LogoutTime = DateTime.Now; log.Status = 0; dbContext.SaveChanges(); FormsAuthentication.SignOut(); Session.Abandon(); Session.Clear(); Response.Cookies.Clear(); Session.RemoveAll(); } return /Login/Login ; } var postData = { ID :1 LogoutTime : some value  Status : some value  }; $.ajax({ url: '/ControllerName/LogOut'  type: 'GET'  data: JSON.stringify(postData) contentType: application/json  dataType: 'json'  success: function (res) { window.location.href = res; } error: function () { $( #renderBody )[0].innerHTML =  Page Not Found! Error 404  ; } });
