How to call a function written in one controller from another controller in mvc

You can solve this with inheritence.

Example:

public abstract class BaseController : Controller 
{ 
    //Common functionality between controllers go here
    protected static string Encrypt(string toEncrypt, bool useHashing)
    {
        //Your content
    } 
}

public class LoginController : BaseController //not Controller anymore 
{
    //Encrypt is now available

    //...Your controller methods here
}

public class RegisterController : BaseController //not Controller anymore 
{
    //Encrypt is now available

    //...Your controller methods here
}

.NET MVC - Call a controller Action from another controller action

Controller.RedirectToAction

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

You could also simply redirect straight to the method like so:

public class ThisController 
{
    public ActionResult Index() 
    {
       return RedirectToAction("OtherMethod", "OtherController");
    }
}

calling different Action Method from another Controller

If the method of StudentController is named GetStudent, then it needs to be

@Html.ActionLink("Get Student Info", "GetStudent", "Student")

The 2nd parameter is the name of the method your calling.
