How can I load a different view within C#? The documentation and all samples only contain javascript code. The file secondView.cshtml is in the same folder as index.cshtml is.

var mainWindow = Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First();
mainWindow.LoadURL("file://${__dirname}/secondView.html");

You boot up a complete ASP.NET Core Application - so you just can "navigate" via typical links or redirects.
When your mainWindow has an open "index.cshtml" just put a link inside it and point to the secondView.html.
The negative point here is, that this will "re-render" the view (just like in a normal web browser)..

Hope this helps!

But I don't want to navigate within the app via buttons or links. Instead within C# from the controller.

Well - you could just redirect the browser to the target view. This would be the "normal" behavior. I'm not sure if there are other options available.

That sounds fine but how would do that? How can I tell the browser to visit secondView.cshtml from C# controller? That's where I'm stuck.
