Question

I have a controller where all of the action methods contain the same code:

[ActionName("pretty-url")]
public ActionResult Something() {
  return PartialView();
}    

[ActionName("another-pretty-url")]
public ActionResult SomethingElse() {
  return PartialView();
}

I name my partial views in the pretty-url.cshtml format, and these get picked up fine and everything works.

As every action in the controller will always do exactly the same thing and return the same thing, I would like to just have my controller look for the correctly-named view and return it as above, without me having to explicitly implement it.

How would I do that?

TIA

Answer 1

I would create a single action and pass the view name as parameter.

public ActionResult Something(string viewName) 
{
  return PartialView(viewName);
}
