Prevent Controller Method From Being Invoked

Learn how to prevent a controller method from being invoked in ASP.NET MVC.

Controller in ASP.NET MVC is a class that inherits from the base class System.Web.Mvc.Controller. Any public method exposed by a controller is exposed as a controller action. If you want to prevent a public controller method from being invoked, you can put the "NonAction" attribute over the method name. By default Index() action is the default action that is invoked on a controller on when no explicit action is mentioned.

For example:   

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace ControllerApplication.Controllers
{
public class TestingController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Testing/
[NonAction]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
