In my controller I have two actions called ‘Friends’. The one that executes depends on whether or not it’s a ‘get’ versus a ‘post’.

So my code snippets look something like this:

// Get: [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)] public ActionResult Friends() {     // do some stuff     return View(); }  // Post: [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Friends() {     // do some stuff     return View(); }

However, this does not compile since I have two methods with the same signature (Friends). How do I go about creating this? Do I need to create just one action but differentiate between a ‘get’ and ‘post’ inside of it? If so, how do I do that?

  1. Rename the second method to something else like ‘Friends_Post’ and then you can add [ActionName('Friends')] attribute to the second one. So the requests to the Friend action with POST as request type, will be handled by that action.

    // Get: [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)] public ActionResult Friends() {     // do some stuff     return View(); }  // Post: [ActionName('Friends')] [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Friends_Post() {     // do some stuff     return View(); }
