return Json will redirects to another view when Url specified

Question

When you do return Json(...) you are specifically telling MVC not to use a view, and to serve serialized JSON data. Your browser opens a download dialog because it doesn't know what to do with this data.

i got the above information from below link

How to return Json object from MVC controller to view

when i give this below code in some action result

return Json(new { Url = "sep/employee"}

whether it will redirect to specified action ? how it redirects to the URl ?

for this case why i cant use return RedirectToAction("sep/employee").

how return Json code redirects to action which specified in the Url.

ex:

public ActionResult Index()
{
................................

return Json(new { Url = "sep/employee"}
}

public ActionResult employee()
{
....................
}

what is the difference b/s redirectaction and return Json

Answer 1

You return the following line to an ajax success call

return Json(new { Url = "sep/employee"});    

you then need to specify where to redirect to the new page

success: function(result) {
        window.location.href=result.Url;
    }
