StackOverFlowException when using @html.Action()

Question

I am receiving a weird error message when i try and use @Html.Action() in my view?

here is the view code:

@Html.Action("Index", "Clients")

And here is the controller:

public class ClientsController : Controller
{
    private ROUTING_DBV6Entities db = new ROUTING_DBV6Entities();

    // GET: Clients
    public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
    {
        return View(await db.Clients.ToListAsync());
    }
}

And here is the error message which I have recieved:

{Cannot evaluate expression because the current thread is in a stack overflow state.}

You have created an infinite loop. @Html.Action("Index", "Clients") calls the ClientsController.Index which then calls the View Index which then calls @Html.Action("Index", "Clients"). Maybe you wanted an action link. — Aron

Have a look at partials referencing Index, that might casue a never ending story. — BanksySan

Side note: Do not forget to dispose your ROUTING_DBV6Entities. — Silvermind

@Silvermind Unless Zapnologica is taking the dangerous route of a shared context — BLoB

Are you calling this from _Layout.cshtml?

try returning a partial view - return PartialView(await db.Clients.ToListAsync());

or add this to the clients view @{ Layout = null; }
