ASP.NET - How to use multiple post methods in the same controller?

Question

I have the following problem:

On a given HTML page I have two buttons that call different POST methods in the same controller.

@using (Html.BeginForm("UserInfo1", "UserInfo", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <input type="submit" value="Ir para Action" 
     name="botao1" id="botao1" />
}

@using (Html.BeginForm("UserInfo2", "UserInfo", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <input type="submit" value="Ir para Action" 
     name="botao2" id="botao2" />
}

The code on my controller is as follows::

using Project1.Classes;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Project1.Controllers
{
    public class UserInfoController : Controller
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult UserInfo()
        {
           return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult UserInfo1(string g)
        {
            @Viewbag.User1 = g;
            return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult UserInfo2(string g)
        {
            @Viewbag.User2 = g;
            return View();
        }
    }
}

The route configured for this controller is:

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "UserInfo",
            url: "profile/",
            defaults: new { controller = "UserInfo", action = "UserInfo", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

The big question is that by pressing the buttons I am NOT being redirected to the Userinfo1 and Userinfo2 methods (I notice this when I try to execute the operation by inserting breakpoints in these methods). Consequently I get a 404 error on the HTML page.

How can I access each of these methods? It is necessary to create some type of specific route?

You’re making a mistake because of the lack of route Default, because its configuration routes it always enters the controller and action Userinfo.

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

Also worth remembering that the route Default should always come last, as it will always enter the first route that "hit"

Your problem is that you don’t have Httpget action for your view to load.

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult UserInfo1()
{
    return View();
}
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult UserInfo2()
{
    return View();
}

For each Userinfo1 and Userinfo2 Action you need to have a View with the same name so mvc can find it when the action is called.

Look how it turned out controller and Views

I managed to solve. The problem is that the default route was missing, which should be placed below custom routes:

routes.MapRoute(
        name: "UserInfo",
        url: "profile/",
        defaults: new { controller = "UserInfo", action = "UserInfo", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
