I have a specialised case where I wish to serve a straight html file from a Controller Action.

I want to serve it from a different folder other than the Views folder. The file is located in

Solution\Html\index.htm

And I want to serve it from a standard controller action. Could i use return File? And how do I do this?

    {
        return new FilePathResult("~/Html/index.htm", "text/html");
    }
