MVC 3 Can't pass string as a View's model?

Question

I have a strange problem with my model passed to the View

Controller

[Authorize]
public ActionResult Sth()
{
    return View(\"~/Views/S         


        

Answer 1

You meant this View overload:

protected internal ViewResult View(string viewName, Object model)

MVC is confused by this overload:

protected internal ViewResult View(string viewName, string masterName)

Use this overload:

protected internal virtual ViewResult View(string viewName, string masterName,
                                           Object model)

This way:

return View("~/Views/Sth/Sth.cshtml", null , "abc");

By the way, you could just use this:

return View("Sth", null, "abc");
