How to return a view from controller action method?

To return a view from the controller action method, we can use View() method by passing respective parameters.

ACTION METHOD CODE

public ViewResult OutputView()
  {
      return View();
  }

• return View() – returns the view corresponding to the action method
• return View(“ViewName”) – returns the view name specified in the current view folder (view extension name “.cshtml” is not required.
• return View("~/Views/Account/Register.cshtml") – returns the Register view under /Views/Account folder (view extension name “.cshtml” is required as we are passing the complete path name of the view that exists in another folder).
