Menu
I have set up a menu-controller to drive the top menu links based on which other controller is being used. Each other controller has a separate nested master page for each of its views.
so, i have a menu-controller with several methods that return viewresults, one per each controller, or "section" of the site. So currently each of these methods has its own view to render the menu. but each view to render the menu is the same code, the only thing that changes is the logic in the controller methods based on which links to render.
is there any way to have all of these controller actions target the same view? since the view is the same for all?
thanks

Yes, completely possible. And, it can be multiple views, or even a FileResult or other result type.
Introduction. In MVC we cannot pass multiple models from a controller to the single view.
While ASP.NET MVC will allow you to have two actions with the same name, . NET won't allow you to have two methods with the same signature - i.e. the same name and parameters. You will need to name the methods differently use the ActionName attribute to tell ASP.NET MVC that they're actually the same action.
The following illustrates the Index() action method in the StudentController class. As you can see in the above figure, the Index() method is public, and it returns the ActionResult using the View() method. The View() method is defined in the Controller base class, which returns the appropriate ActionResult .
Yes, that is a common practice.
return View("Menu");
Create a strongly typed view that takes a container specifying your menu content. Pass this as a parameter on your return statement.
var thisMenu = CreateMenuForThisRequest();
return View ("Menu", thisMenu);
