In this article, you will learn how to retrieve the views in another folder. For example a view that is in the folder "Views|Application|General|Index.cshtml". How will you map it or use it from the controller? Is this possible?
Of course! 100%. Today in one the project I have many view files in one folder "Application" mapped by the "Application" controller which is the default behavior of the MVC runtime.
