Action Selector in Asp.net Mvc

Action Selectors

Action selector are the attribute that applied to action method to handle a particular requests.

MVC 5 have following action selector attributes:

1) ActionName

2) NonAction

3) ActionVerbs

ActionName:

It allow us to specify different ActionName then the method name.

[ActionName("Student")]

public ActionResult StudentName(string stuName)

{

  

  return View();

}

In the above example, before specify [ActionName("Student")] , action method name was "StudentName" but after applying ActionName the new name of action method is "Student".

NonAction:

NonAction method indicates that the public method of a controller is not an action method. If you apply NonAction then it will not treat as a Method.

public ActionResult StudentName(string stuName)

{

  

  return View();

}
