Examples

The following example shows how to return a view from an action method. Both action methods return the TestJson.aspx page from the Views subfolder that matches the controller name. The TestJson method defaults to returning the TestJson.aspx page. The TestJsonContent method explicitly returns the TestJson.aspx page.

public ActionResult TestJson() {
    return View();
}
public ActionResult TestJsonContent() {
    return View("TestJson");
}
Public Function TestJson() As ActionResult 
    Return View() 
End Function 
Public Function TestJsonContent() As ActionResult 
    Return View("TestJson") 
End Function
