Display a view from another controller in ASP.NET MVC
Yes. By default, ASP.NET MVC checks first in \Views\[Controller_Dir]\
, but after that, if it doesn't find the view, it checks in \Views\Shared
.
The shared directory is there specifically to share Views across multiple controllers. Just add your View to the Shared subdirectory and you're good to go.
If you do return View("~/Views/Wherever/SomeDir/MyView.aspx")
You can return any View you'd like.
You can use:
return View("../Category/NotFound", model);
It was tested in ASP.NET MVC 3, but should also work in ASP.NET MVC 2.
