Avoid hard-coding controller and action names

Question

ASP.NET MVC seems to be encouraging me to use hard-coded strings to refer to controllers and actions.

For example, in a controller:

return RedirectT         


        

Answer 1

I know this is an old topic, but when I was looking for an answer for ASP.NET 5 this theme first appeared. There is no need to hardcode anymore, just use nameof

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult List()
{
   ...
   return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Add()
{
    ...
    return RedirectToAction(nameof(List));
}
