Question

how can URL this be ambigous?

The current request for action 'index' on controller type 'CompanyController' is ambiguous between the following action methods:

http://localhost:50701/Company/index/1

public ViewResult Index(int id)
        {
            Company company = _companyProvider.Read(id);
            return View(company);
        }

        public ActionResult Index(Company company)
        {
            return View(company);
        }

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(Company company, HttpPostedFileBase LogoFileName, CustomProfile customProfile)
        {

It is different from the one of the first post. did you recompile?

The second , usually, have

[HttpPost]

attribute

The first is a get,

The second one only gets called from a controller:

    [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(Company company, HttpPostedFileBase LogoFileName, CustomProfile customProfile)
        {
            company.LogoFileName = SaveCompanyLogoImage(LogoFileName);
            company.CustomProfile = customProfile;
            Company newCompany = _companyProvider.Create(company);
            return View("Index", newCompany);
        }

MVC only allows action method overload by http method (GET, HEAD, PUT, etc).  the controller action is picked by the route table, and if overloaded then by method. after selection of the action, the postback values are bound.

yeah, this now works:

        [HttpGet]
        public ViewResult Index(int id)
        {
            Company company = _companyProvider.Read(id);
            return View(company);
        }

        public ActionResult Index(Company company)
        {
            return View(company);
        }
