asp.net mvc - [HttpPost/HttpGet] vs. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post/Get)]

Question

are these things the same?

[HttpPost/HttpGet] vs. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post/Get)]

if not where is a difference?

Answer 1

Yes, absolutely the same. [HttpPost/HttpGet] were introduced in ASP.NET MVC 2 to reduce the keystrokes we have to type :-) [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post/Get)] could still be used and behave the same although if you are writing new code I would recommend the first.
