What are controllers and actions in ASP.NET MVC?

Can you explain what controllers and actions are in ASP.NET MVC?

Sure! In ASP.NET MVC, a controller is a class that handles user input and interactions. It processes incoming requests, interacts with the model, and returns a response, usually in the form of a view.

What is the role of actions within a controller?

Actions are methods within a controller that respond to user requests. Each action method corresponds to a specific user action, like displaying a page or processing a form submission.

How do I create a new controller in an ASP.NET MVC project?

You can create a new controller by right-clicking on the 'Controllers' folder in your project, selecting 'Add', and then 'Controller'. Choose the type of controller you want to create and follow the prompts.

Can you give me an example of an action method?

Certainly! An example of an action method is:

public ActionResult Index() {
    return View();
}

This method returns the 'Index' view when called.
