  1. ViewResult (View): View Result is used to return a webpage from an action method.

  3. RedirectResult (Redirect): RedirectResult is used to redirect to any other controller and action method depending on the URL.
  4. RedirectToRouteResult (RedirectToAction, RedirectToRoute): This return type is used when we want to redirect to any other action method.
  5. ContentResult (Content): RedirectToRouteResult is used to return HTTP content type like text/plain as the result of the action.
  6. jsonResult (json): jsonResult is used when we want to return a JSON message.
