I have an if/else statement in the controller and 2 different types of views to display depending on the outcome.
So I have my 2 views in a .aspx page with a placeholder around each.
How do I set the property placeholder.Visible from the controller? Or by the theory of MVC should I even be doing that sort of presentation in the controller? It sounds like I would be blurring the seperation of front-end output.
Don’t do that.. just have two aspx pages/views. Don’t worry about placeholders.
To elaborate, yes, you can do that kind of logic in an action method. And yes, you can have an action method render a view conditionally. This is normal!
If the logic in the action gets to be so much that you have difficulty maintaining the unit test, refactor
