Question

I have the following code

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewData.Model = new Model();
        return Action1();
    }

    public ActionResult Action1()
    {
        return View();
    }

When I called the index action, it will call action1 method, and then call the index action again. Anyone knows why is this behaving this way?

I know we can use RedirectToAction(“Action1”) to solve this, but I’m just curious the reason behind this behaviour. Thanks heaps.

It does not call the Index action again. Because the action you invoked at the first time was Index the method View() will return the view corresponding to Index. That is why you see the view for Index.
