following 1 login function in controller:

[httppost] public actionresult login(string email, string password) {              return redirecttoaction("index", "home");            }   

this calls index function of homecontroller same screen i.e login screen remains on browser.
following routes in mvc application :

public static void registerroutes(routecollection routes) {             routes.ignoreroute("{resource}.axd/{*pathinfo}");              routes.maproute(                 "default", // route name                 "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // url parameters                 new { controller = "login", action = "index", id = urlparameter.optional } // parameter defaults             ); }

update:
homecontroller :

public class homecontroller : controller     {         public actionresult index()         {             viewbag.message = "modify template jump-start asp.net mvc application.";              return view();         }          public actionresult about()         {             viewbag.message = "your app description page.";              return view();         }          public actionresult contact()         {             viewbag.message = "your contact page.";              return view();         }     } 

pages such index page on home controller need [allowanonymous] decorating action allow page viewed without logging in.

do this

public class homecontroller : controller     {         [allowanonymous]         public actionresult index()         {             viewbag.message = "modify template jump-start asp.net mvc application.";              return view();         } 

you need

[httppost] [allowanonymous] public actionresult login(string email, string password) {              return redirecttoaction("index", "home");            }
