When a programmer send the request and when it GOES to the action method it sees the return type of  the action result and produces the desired result on the view after that,

Action Result is a result of action methods or return types of action methods. Action result is an abstract class.

Different types of ActionResult are-

1. View Result
2. Partial View Result
3. Redirect Result
4. Redirect To Action Result
5. Redirect To Route Result
6. Json Result
7. File Result
8. Content Result

1.View Result: View Result is very simple Action Result type it is a class which is derived from the ViewResultBase class and viewResultBase Class is derived from the ActionResult, View results in the data in view which is defined in the model. View PAGE is a simple HTML page. Here view page has “.cshtml” extension

         Eg,

2.Partial View Result : The partial view is a class which is also derived from action result class. When we create a partial view it is created in the shared folder with the .cshtml extensions. If we don't have the partial view we cannot access the partial view, Partial view is one of the views that we can call inside the Normal view page.

Eg.
