ASP.NET MVC Set Views folder on controller

Question

If you have created a controller like:

public class ProjectLoginController : Controller
{
    /// <summary>
    /// GET: /login
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    [HttpGet]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    public ActionResult Login()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

It will search for the login view in the ProjectLogin or the Shared folder.

Is it possible to tell MVC for this controller to search in the views folder Account under Viewsinstead of doing:

return View("~/Views/Account/Login.cshtml");

or:

return View("../Account/Login");

You can do like this, return View("../Account/Login", yourModel ); — Basanta Matia

But is there no attribute you can set with the default views folder to search in for this particular controller? — Mivaweb

@Mivaweb I have the same problem. I need to do this for a single controller. Did you find a solution? — Martin D.

You can use RedirectToAction() method for this. For example,

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account");

Or-else, do like this,

return View("../Account/Login");

Hoe it helps :)

Yes you can do this by following ways:

return View("../Account/Login");

or

return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "Account");
