MVC Controller Method Overloading

Hi DSK Chakravarthy,

The correct syntax for route constraints in ASP.NET Core is different from what you have in your code. Route constraints are typically defined using curly braces {}.

Here's the corrected version of your code:

public class YourController : Controller
{
[Route("YourController/GetSomeData/{input:int}")]
public ActionResult GetSomeDataByInt(int input)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for INT data type
}

[Route("YourController/GetSomeData/{input}")]
public ActionResult GetSomeDataByString(string input)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for STRING data type
}
}

Make sure to use {input:int} and {input} instead of just int and leaving it as is.
This syntax informs ASP.NET Core that you are defining a route parameter named input with a constraint of type int for the first method and without any constraint for the second method.

Regarding the second part of your question about MVC Controller Method Overloading, in ASP.NET Core, method overloading is not directly supported for action methods. You typically rely on route templates and route parameters to distinguish between different actions.

If you want to handle different data types differently, you should use route constraints as shown in your first code snippet. However, make sure to use the correct syntax as provided above.

If you are using .NET Framework 4.5.2 with MVC, then the route attributes and syntax may be different, and you may not have the same level of flexibility and features as ASP.NET Core. Please check the documentation for the version you are using for the correct syntax.
