c# - Implicit connection of Action Methods with Views in ASP.NET MVC -

i working in brownfield asp.net mvc 3 project in vs2010.

in project, views , controllers in separate projects. not have seen before. in each action method there no explicit stating of view name below.

return view("viewname",passingmodel);//projects controllers , views in same  

i have done implicitly in vs2012 right clicking on view , add view. not bothered connection between action method's return view , view stated.

unlike in vs2012, in vs2010 can not navigate view related 1 particular action method right clicking on view , doing go view.

i tried understand doing small experiment. created controller , created action method call xxxx , created view implicitly mentioned above , searched word xxxx in entire solution word appeared in controller , in view.

so, unsuccessful in finding answer. think visual studio creating own mapping achieve this. know these implicit connections created among action methods , views understand going on in project.

edit:

both projects contains controllers , views class libraries. not asp.net mvc projects.

global.aspx file contains this:

public static void registerglobalfilters(globalfiltercollection filters)         {             filters.add(new handleerrorattribute());         }          protected void application_start()         {             dependencieshelper.register(new httpcontextwrapper(context));              arearegistration.registerallareas();              registerglobalfilters(globalfilters.filters);             routinghelper.registerroutes(routetable.routes);         }          protected void application_end()         {             //should close index             //if method not executed, search engine still work.             searchservice.closeindex();         } 

the mapping straightforward. example if have controller called "mybrilliantcontroller" , action method called "myexcellentaction" returned return view(); map (in ui project) ~/views/mybrilliant/myexcellentaction.cshtml

the time different when working "areas" - mapping same, consider area folder first (ie ~/areas/myarea/views/mybrilliant/myexcellentaction.cshtml)

hope helps.

edit - can specify namespaces in global.asax file on each route engine find controllers

public static void registerroutes(routecollection routes) {     routes.ignoreroute("{resource}.axd/{*pathinfo}");      routes.maproute(         "default", // route name         "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // url parameters         new {                  controller = "home",                  action = "index",                  id = urlparameter.optional          }, // parameter defaults         new string[] {             // namespaces in find controllers route             "mysolution.mycontrollerslib1.helpers",              "mysolution.mycontrollerslib2.helpers",             "mysolution.mycontrollerslib3.helpers"          }      );  }
