How to redirect to correct controller action in asp.net mvc

Question

Ok so i have a snippet which is supposed to redirect to a controller's action.

return RedirectToAction("add");

Now the problem is that add action is overloaded. One which gets called when the HTTPrequest is of GET type and the other when the request is of POST type. Is there anyway that i can select to which action does the statement redirect ?

RedirectToAction returns a 302 (moved) response to your client's browser. GET is the only method you'll get out that.

If you were asking because you WANT to invoke your POST/add action, this related question might help

Try this

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult add()
{
    ...
}

[ActionName("add")]
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult add_post()
{
    ...
}

This way you can POST and GET to add and in the controller you call add or add_post
