The conventional mechanism to redirect in ASP.Net MVC is to return an object of type RedirectResult to the client. If this is done before your View method is called, your view methods will never be called. If you call Response.Redirect yourself, instead of letting Asp.Net MVC’s front controller do that for you, your controller method … Read more
You use false when you don’t want to abort the thread. What that means is that false will cause the code to continue to execute.
