Menu
I'm having a problem where a controller action is called at least twice. I have a view that has another view as its layout page, and the view is called multiple times. If I remove the specification for the layout then the action is consistently executed once. I looked through StackOverflow and other sites but couldn't find a problem which had the same characteristics as mine so I'm posting a new question.
_ViewStart.cshtml:
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_ProfileLayout.cshtml";
}
Index.cshtml inside my Profile folder: @{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
Index
Controller Action:
public ActionResult Index()
{
//ToDo: BusinessLogic
//This method gets called twice
//******************//
return View();
}
It seem's like a simple problem and I'm definitely missing something obvious. I've posted the sample project on this site: https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=F2DAB940147490B0&id=F2DAB940147490B0%21140
Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks
Update: Here's the view: @{ ViewBag.Title = "TestMVCProject"; Layout = null; }

Update: @Tieson T: Thanks, I changed this to be Html.Partial instead of RenderPage. However the problem still persists as the action method still gets called twice... (Editing description as I don't have privileges to add comments)

Yes, it's possible. Just make sure your views have same view model. From a technical stand point, views don't have to have the same view model implemented within the same action. There's just as long as the controller passes in the expected type.
The file MasterLayout. cshtml represents the layout of each page in the application. Right-click on the Shared folder in the Solution Explorer, then go to Add item and click View. Copy the following layout code.
You can only return one value from a function so you can't return multiple partials from one action method. If you are trying to return two models to one view, create a view model that contains both of the models that you want to send, and make your view's model the new ViewModel.
By default, the Index() method is a default action method for any controller, as per configured default root, as shown below. routes. MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{name}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter. Optional });
I figured out the problem. There was this line in the code:
<img alt="TestMVCProject Logo" src="#" width="350" height="150" id="TestMVCProjectLogo" />
The src was going back to the same page. Once I replace it with a "" it works fine now.

I also faced same problem. The Action was rendering twice. The only problem was with
<img id="blah" src="#" alt="your image" />
Dont know for what reason src attribute of image was causing to perform rendering twice on page.
I just changed it to ""`
<img id="blah" src="" alt="your image" />
and it is working fine now.
