Question

Would it be possible to have my POST method go to a different view to my GET method?

Example:

GET

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Output()
    {
        var model = new VTOutputModel();
        return View(model);
    }

POST

    [HttpPost]
    public PartialViewResult OutputPartialView(VTOutputModel model)
    {
        return PartialView(model);
    }

Here I attempted to have the POST method pop up with a new webpage/view. Differing from the GET method. This doesn’t work because it still expects a view called “Output”

You can specify the name of the view you want to return by doing:

return View("OutputPost", model);

As a full example:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Output()
{
    var model = new VTOutputModel();
    return View(model);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Output(VTOutputModel model)
{
    return PartialView("OutputPost", model);
}
