Redirect to a action without changing the URL with c#

Question

Is there a way to change the control of an Action and pass it to another Action without changing the URL?

public virtual ActionResult Mobile(bool redirectToPc = false)
{
    if (redirectToPc)
        return RedirectToAction("Home", "PC");

    return View();
}

I want to stay in the URL www.company.com/Mobile even if I am redirected to Action PC.

A possibility is to make use of URL Rewriting, have a look at Scott Gu's blogpost Tip/Trick: Url Rewriting with ASP.NET. The idea is to perform the redirection while manipulating the URI to pretend you remained on the same page.

Example:

if (fullOrigionalpath.Contains("/Products/Books.aspx")) {
    Context.RewritePath("/Products.aspx?Category=Books");
}

But please don't do it yourself, look the part about UrlRewriter.net and UrlRewriting.net carefully.
