Question

Why is this incorrect?

{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {

        [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            Some Code--Some Code---Some Code
            return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            Some Code--Some Code---Some Code
            return View();
        }

    }

How can I have a controlller thas answer one thing when is “getted” and one when is “posted”?

Answer 1

Since you cannot have two methods with the same name and signature you have to use the ActionName attribute:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
  // your code
  return View();
}

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult IndexPost()
{
  // your code
  return View();
}
