Hello Everyone

How do I return two different Views from the same Action in ASP.NET MVC

for ex :

public ActionResult Index()
{
var CalenderModel = _calendar.getCalender(DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Year);
return View(new NewsModel {
ActivityNewsList = DB.ActivityNews.ToList()
});
}

Also want to return CalendarModel on above Action. how can i do it ?

1. Return 2 models in 1 View:
User viewmodel to bind multiple models in single class for E.g
public class Teacher
{
   public int TeacherId {get;set;}
   public string Code {get;set;}
   public string Name {get;set;}
}
public class Student
{
   public int StudentId {get;set;}
   public string Code {get;set;}
   public string Name {get;set;}
   public string EnrollmentNo {get;set;}
}
public class ViewModel
{
   public IEnumerable Teachers {get;set;}
   public IEnumerable Students {get;set;}
}
Like that we can able to use refer the below link,

2. Return Multiple View from same Action
use conditions
public ActionResult Index()
{
   object i=new List();
   i=svcService.populateList("Programs");
   if(someCondition)
      return View(i);
   else
      return View("AjaxGetServiceData",i);//or whatever you called yourview.aspx
}

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot.
So what you do is create one more container model and create properties in that model class of two models that you want to return and return the container model.
