We have moved!

You are currently looking at documentation for Umbraco 8 and older versions.
An automated guess is that docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/routing/surface-controllers/surface-controllers-actions could be the link to the new documentation for Umbraco 9 and newer versions.

    Surface controller actions

    A surface controller can return a few Umbraco specific actions.

    CurrentUmbracoPage

    Returns the current Umbraco page.

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return this.CurrentUmbracoPage();
            }

            return this.RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
        }
    }
}

    RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage

    Redirects to the currently rendered Umbraco page.

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return this.CurrentUmbracoPage();
            }

            return this.RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
        }
    }
}

    This action can also take in a string value for a querystring parameter in the url or a NameValueCollection for multiple querystring parameters in the url.

    Querystring parameter using a string value

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            var paramValue = "someValue";
            return this.RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage("param=" + paramValue);
        }
    }
}

    Querystring parameter using a NameValueCollection

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
       [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            var queryStringCollection = new NameValueCollection();
            queryStringCollection.Add("param1", "paramvalue1");
            queryStringCollection.Add("param2", "paramvalue2");
            return this.RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage(queryStringCollection);
        }
    }
}

    RedirectToCurrentUmbracoUrl

    Redirects to the currently rendered Umbraco url.

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            return this.RedirectToCurrentUmbracoUrl();
        }
    }
}

    RedirectToUmbracoPage

    Redirects to a given Umbraco page.

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            //gets the first child page of the current page
            var childPage = CurrentPage.FirstChild();
            return this.RedirectToUmbracoPage(childPage);
        }
    }
}

    You can also redirect to a page id.

    namespace TestWebsite.Core.Controllers
{
    public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult PostMethod()
        {
            //redirect to a page with id 1054
            return this.RedirectToUmbracoPage(1054);
        }
    }
}

    There are overloads for adding a string querystring parameter or a NameValueCollection for multiple querystring parameters.
