Question

Can we call the Method of a controller from another controller in asp.net MVC?

Answer 1

Technically, yes. You can call a static method of a controller or initialize an instance of a controller to call its instance methods.

This, however, makes little sense. The methods of a controller are meant to be invoked by routing engine indirectly. If you feel the need to directly call an action method of another controller, it is a sign you need some redesign to do.
