Multiple actions with same action name

I have multiple action in my controller like this

public ActionResult Verify(String email, String name ){
        ViewBag.email = email;
        ViewBag.name = name;
        return View();
}

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Verify(String uId){
        User user = TippNett.Core.User.Get(uId);
        user.Active = true;
        user.Save();
        Auth.Authenticate(user, false);
        return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

The first action is when the user registers to show him the registration message that please verify the email and I am calling it like this

return RedirectToAction("Verify", "Account", new { email = email, name = user.FirstName});

The second action is being called when the user clicks on the verification link. The issue is this that the below function is being called always. Even when I pass email and name as parameters as well.

Can anyone explain why this happens and possibly a work around this?

You can use:

[ActionName("MyOverloadedName")]

method overloading based on attribute:

[RequireRequestValue("someInt")]
public ActionResult MyMethod(int someInt) { /* ... */ }

[RequireRequestValue("someString")]
public ActionResult MyMethod(string someString) { /* ... */ }

public class RequireRequestValueAttribute : ActionMethodSelectorAttribute {
    public RequireRequestValueAttribute(string valueName) {
        ValueName = valueName;
    }
    public override bool IsValidForRequest(ControllerContext controllerContext, MethodInfo methodInfo) {
        return (controllerContext.HttpContext.Request[ValueName] != null);
    }
    public string ValueName { get; private set; }
}

But, you'll have to use a different action name for the same http method as you can only have the same method when using different http methods. Like:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Verify(String email, String name ){
      }

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Verify(String uId){
        User user = TippNett.Core.User.Get(uId);
        user.Active = true;
        user.Save();
        Auth.Authenticate(user, false);
        return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
