When I was debugging, I saw the rest of the code in the method continue to execute. I had a bit more discussion on that problem in this thread and although I solved my immediate problem by a bit of cheating, I'm thinking of trying to use RedirectToAction method instead.

My other problem is that right now (and all of this code was not designed by me originally but by contractors who no longer work on the project) is that the logic goes like this:

The application starts, HomeController code kicks in. It finds absence of the license, it opens a new form to import the license. That dialog is currently using a simple modal dialog (the reason for detection re-direct was to hide Cancel and close buttons on that dialog when comes from redirect). The problem with Modal is that you can simply press escape or click outside the form, the form disappears and you now can proceed normally with the application.

Do you know if there is a way to not allow modal dialog to close that way (using uibModal service from angular)?

UPDATE. I found an answer to this question here

The answer worked for me.
