Hi mates,

I want to overload the default Index ActionResult method in ASP.NET MVC3 like:

C#

public ActionResult Index()
       {
           ViewBag.Message = "Hello from Parameter-Less Index Method.";
           return View();
       }


       public ActionResult Index(string myName)
       {
           ViewBag.Message = "Hello from Parameterized Index Method. <br/>Hello "+myName;
           return View();

       }

is it possible? If yes, the how? I appreciate any help !

I guess overloading in not allowed for index method.

The temporary way is:

SQL

public ActionResult Index(string myName)
        {
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(myName))
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "Hello from Parameter-Less Index Method.";
                return View();
            }
            else
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "Hello from Parameterized Index Method. <br/>Hello " + myName;
                return View();
            }
        }
