How to redirect to the home page from a page under the Areas folder?

Question

I'm trying to redirect to my home page from a page under the Areas folder.

I tried:

public IActionResult OnGet()
{
    return RedirectToPage("/");
}

But this throws an exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'No page named '/' matches the supplied values.'

I found this question, and it recommended:

return RedirectToPage("/Index");

But this seemed to take me to the Index in the current folder.

I also tried this:

return RedirectToPage("~/Index");

But this also throws an exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'No page named '~/Index' matches the supplied values.'

And the same error with:

return RedirectToPage("~/");

So how can I redirect to the home page from a page under the Areas folder?

Answer 1

Finally figured out the answer.

return RedirectToPage("/Index", new { area = "" });

I found it rather non-intuitive.
