How do I manually hook up an MVC controller and force it to perform an action?

I have a situation where I want to display content from another controller and action.

I don't want to redirect the user to a different url, I just want to connect the controller, pass it the information it needs, and return it the correct view. I want it to think that it should have been there, in that particular url where it was called.

How can I do that?

I believe you can do this ...



public class FirstController : Controller
{   
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View("~/Views/First/Index.aspx");
    }
}

public class SecondController : Controller
{   
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return new FirstController().Index();
    }
}

Return the following.

return View("ViewName");


Then you need to put "ViewName.aspx" in the public folder as the view is now shared by multiple controllers.
