I am a newbie to asp.net mvc 3. How can you render a view within a div by calling an action:
html:
<div id="dialog-modal" title="Basic modal dialog">
@Html.RenderAction("Popup","Home");
</div>
c#:
public ActionResult Popup()
{
return PartialView();
}
I am getting an error:
The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments
Try wrapping your HtmlHelper in a code block:
@{ Html.RenderAction("Popup", "Home"); }
@Html.Action(); instead of this, as documentation at stackoverflow.com/questions/6980823/…From Wrox.Professional.ASP.NET.MVC.3.Aug.2011 page 115
Html.Action and Html.RenderAction Action and RenderAction are similar to the Partial and RenderPartial helpers. The Partial helper typically helps a view render a portion of a view’s model using view markup in a separate file. Action, on the other hand, executes a separate controller action and displays the results. Action offers more flexibility and re-use, because the controller action can build a different model and make use of a separate controller context. Once again, the only difference between Action and RenderAction is that RenderAction writes directly to the response (which can bring a slight efficiency gain).
