title: Return an Action from another Action does not work?
body: <p>I am trying to overload an MVC Action, but since "overloading" does not work for route actions (error 500 says ambiguous method I guess because parameters cannot be strongly typed from the browser), then I thought I would just return one action to another since I cannot use RedirectToAction for HttpPost either. The issue is that it is trying to find a view with the new action name instead of what aciton I am trying to call. Here is what I am trying to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult DetailForProductID(int productID)
      {
          return Detail(new[] { GetProductById(productID) });
      }
  
      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult Detail(IEnumerable&lt;Product&gt; products)
      {
         ....
         return View(productViewModel);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the error I get though:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The view 'DetailForProductID' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
  ~/Views/Products/DetailForProductID.aspx
  ~/Views/Products/DetailForProductID.ascx
  ~/Views/Shared/DetailForProductID.aspx
  ~/Views/Shared/DetailForProductID.ascx
  ~/Views/Products/DetailForProductID.cshtml
  ~/Views/Products/DetailForProductID.vbhtml
  ~/Views/Shared/DetailForProductID.cshtml
  ~/Views/Shared/DetailForProductID.vbhtml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the most robust and elegant way to handle this? I would not want to store things in temporary sessions or do a RedirectToAction becase I should be able to do everything server-side. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
