Hi Wasim, We have two methods to access a view from different controller in MVC: Method-1 using the "RedirectToAction" method is as follows: return RedirectToAction("ActionName", "ControllerName"); Method-2 using "View" method of the controller: return View("ViewName", "ControllerName");

In ASP.NET MVC, you can access a view from a different controller by using the RedirectToAction method. The RedirectToAction method takes two parameters: the name of the action and the name of the controller. For example, if you want to redirect to the Index action of the Home controller from the Account controller, you can use the following code: return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); Alternatively, you can use the View method to render a specific view from a different controller. The View method takes one parameter, the name of the view. For example, if you want to render the Index view of the Home controller from the Account controller, you can use the following code: return View("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml"); Note that the View method is used to return the view from the current action, the RedirectToAction method is used to redirect to a different action.

Amit Mohanty · Answer

You can access a view from a different controller using the RedirectToAction method. return RedirectToAction("Index", "YourController"); The RedirectToAction method will cause a new HTTP request to be made to the server, which will result in a new instance of the controller being created. If you want to pass data to the new controller without causing a new request, you can use the RedirectToRoute method instead. You can also use View() method to return a view from a different controller by specifying the full name of the view including the controller name. return View("~/Views/YourController/Index.cshtml");

Hello, Instead of using the view of different controllers, you can use the concept of encapsulation. create ViewModel as per response data and bind data to that view. Another way to use a common view between controllers is to create partial views or shared views. Thanks
