asp.net mvc building url with ajax

Question

I'm trying to a build a url in asp.net mvc but the object route values data come in later on through ajax. Basically what's happening is the following:

I click a button, which does an ajax call to the server to do some work. If the call is successful, I have to redirect to another page. I tried doing a redirect to action in the method but realized that won't work because it was ajax. So I decided to add the following in the success parameter to my ajax call:

window.location.href = '@Url.Action("view", "controller", new { data=data })';

but obviously this is compiled (or built or whatever) into a string when the page initially renders, and my data=data part is where the data is coming in after the ajax call.

is there another way to incorporate the data into my url?

The URL helper should give you the controller/action url on page render, then you can append the parameters using javascript like below.

window.location.href = '@Url.Action("view", "controller")?data='+data;
