    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Rentals", new { CityName = city });

}

this is index action

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(String CityName)

}

am i missing something?

Answer 1

You are trying to redirect action which is searching for a matching action but in this case there is no get action, so you have to add a get method to accept redirect. If you want, you can check the HTTPGET or POST inside the method

[HttpPost]<---- Remove this 
public ActionResult Index(String CityName)
{


}
