title: does an MVC Action have to return an actionResult?
body: <p>Can a so called action in my controller just be a regular function that returns anything I want or does the return of an ActionResult declare whether its an "action" or not?</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if i could call functions in my ActionLink in the "actionname" that didn't return <code>actionresults</code>.</p>
