ASP.NET MVC 3 update URL when returning a view.

Question

In my controller action I return a view and I also need to update the url in the browser so if the request url is test.site.testsite.com I want to change it to search.site.testsite.com how can I do this.

Thanks

So I'm not positive about sub-domains but HttpContext.RewritePath() allows you to modify the URL. This should give you a start.

I'll give it a try. Will this work using VS 2010 built server? Or should I deploy on test box with IIS 7?

That didn't work. Lets say the url is search.site.testsite.com the pages loads. Then the user types in abcd.site.testsite.com since this new url will result in a redirect to search.site.testsite.com and since we are already on that page using HttpContext.RewritePath doesn't change the url.

You can achieve the above by following,

In IIS host two WebSites (test.site.testsite.com and search.site.testsite.com) both pointing to same physical/virtual directory.
In the Controller action , you can use a filter attribute which will redirect all search request to search.site.com.
