Naming for Conventions for Actions and Views (Revisited)

Question

I'm brand new to MVC and, as a learning exercise, I'm trying to re-write an old application as an ASP.NET MVC application. I'm a little unclear about some conventions which the question Action Naming Conventions only partially covers.

Lets say I have two controllers: JobController and ClientController. Both of the controllers are going to have identical actions: List, Details, New, Update, and Delete.

Should the views for these actions be named identically to the action? In this case the List action for JobController should have a view named "List.aspx" as opposed to something like "JobList.aspx".

The reason this question came to my mind was that I was unsure if its appropriate to have multiple views with the same name (such as "List.aspx"). This will get more and more relavent as I continue adding controllers as pretty much every business object in my system will require a "List.aspx" of some sort.

Answer 1

They won't really have the same name. If it were important to give all our files different names why would we want folders? You actually have a Job/List.aspx and a Client/List.aspx.
