Calling View of different folder from Asp.net mvc4 controller

Question

I hava a View Name "Message" in the Jobs folder of Views. And I want to return that view form an action of different controller, named "MarketController"

 public class MarketController : Controller
    {

      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult Save()
        {
          // logic to save the record
            TempData["message"] = "Save successfully";
            return View("Message");   
        }
   }

The problem is that the "Message" view is not in the View of Market, how can i return that view from MarketController.
(I do not want to use RedirectToaction method here.)

@Paul, I just want to avoid adding an extra action method in JobController. — Ishtiaq, Apr 28 '14 at 08:06
@Ish out of interest if the view is used in multiple controllers why not put it in the shared folder. Then you wont have to use absolute paths. — Steve, Apr 28 '14 at 08:29

Just use a relative path based on the Views folder

return View("~/Views/Jobs/Message.cshtml");

You have to fill the full address for your Message view ("~/Views/Jobs/Message.cshtml"):

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save()
{
    TempData["message"] = "Save successfully";
    return View("~/Views/Jobs/Message.cshtml");
}
