How to redirect to VF page from VF form standard controller?

I have a VF page that creates a contact, but I want the form to redirect to a Thank You page rather than try to open the newly created contact in SF.  Here is my extension coding:

public class ContactSaveExtension {

    ApexPages.StandardController controller;

    public ContactSaveExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        this.controller = controller;
    }

    public PageReference saveAndRedirect() {
        controller.save();
        PageReference redirect = new PageReference('ApexPage.Thank_You');
        redirect.setRedirect(true);
        return redirect;
    }

}

What am I missing?

Thank you!

Hi Stephanie,

In your code, you have written the wrong statement for redirect the page.
your statement is:
PageReference redirect = new PageReference('ApexPage.Thank_You');

please try this one
PageReference redirect = new PageReference('/ApexPage/Thank_You');


Thanks

Thank you all for your help!

The next issue I am facing is getting to 75% code coverage to deploy in my production environment (I'm at 63%).  I have not written any test code for this Apex Class.  Is writing test code helpful, and if so, what would be an example?  

​Thank you!
