I have got it, its answer. Details explanation is below:We can restrict the MVC action with the **HttpGet** or **HttpPost** attribute to restrict the type of **HTTP** calls. For example,In below code **DisplayStudent** action can only be invoked by HttpGet. If we try to make HTTP POST on **DisplayStudent**, it will throw an error.\
\

```
[HttpGet]public ViewResult DisplayStudent(int id){    Student objStudent = Studentss[id];    return View("DisplayStudent",objStudent);} 
```
