Views

As we learned from previous chapter, returning content directly from the controller action method is not ideal.

It is a simple task to returning content from the view model. Let's get in code.

Before:

public ActionResult Detail()
{
    if (DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Tuesday)
    {
        return Redirect("/");
    }

    return Content("Hello from ComicBookController");
}

Let's returning a view not a string from Detail() function.

After:

public ActionResult Detail()
{
    return View();
}

Run it on Google Chrome and PUFFF! It shows an error.

Why? We are returning the view that not being defined earlier.
