Can two different controllers access a single view in mvc?

Question

I have two different controllers and I want both of them to use a Common View.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Yes.Mention the view full path in the View method.

public class UserController : Controller
{
   public ActionResult ShowUser()
   {
     return View();
   }
}
public class AccountController : Controller
{
   public ActionResult ShowAccount()
   {
     return View("~/Views/User/ShowUser.cshtml");
   }
}

If the name of your Views are same in both the controllers, You can keep the Common view under the Views/Shared directory and simply call the View method without any parameter. The View name should be same as the Action method name.

public class UserController : Controller
{
   public ActionResult ShowUser()
   {
     return View();
   }
}
public class AccountController : Controller
{
   public ActionResult ShowUser()
   {
     return View();
   }
}

Assuming you have a View called ShowUser.cshtml under Views/Shared folder.
