I am creating a website for User registeration,display,login etc. I am currently trying to display the details of the user who have signed in. But within the actionResult of login I don't know how will i call the actionResult of display? I am new to asp.net. I need suggestions

 public ActionResult login()
        {
            try
            {
                return View();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

        
        [HttpPost]     
        public ActionResult login(DEntities.Users user)
        {
            try
            {
                services.CheckUser(user);
                controlsuccess = services.servicesuccess;
                if (controlsuccess == true)
                {

                    return RedirectToAction("display");             
                    //return View("display");
                }
                else
                { 
                    return HttpNotFound();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }
  public ActionResult display()
        {

            return View();
        }
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult display(int id = 0)
        {
            try
            {
                DEntities.Users user = services.GetUserbyId(id);
                return View(user);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

Firstly, please use formatting tags when posting code snippets. You can see for yourself how hard your code is to read. Have a look around at some other threads with code snippets and see how they're posted. Try my CodeBank threads for example.

As for the question, you can call RedirectToAction or the like instead of View. That will then invoke another action and return its result.

Hello,

This appears to be an ASP.Net MVC question, unless I am mistaken, so I am going to move it to the correct forum.

Thanks
