Passing a string into a partial view in MVC4

Question

I'd like to be able to pass a string into my partial view from the calling View - this string will be different depending on the view from which the partial view is rendered. Something like this:

@{ Html.RenderPartial("PartialViews/_BreadcrumbsPartial", "New Item");}

Or

@{ Html.RenderPartial("PartialViews/_BreadcrumbsPartial", Model.Name);}

How can I access this second parameter from within the partial view, since I haven't labeled that parameter? I'd like to avoid passing the whole model in if possible, and just reference that string directly.

Your Partial Must bind to a string

example, at top place this:

@model string

To access the value in your partial, use @Model in place of string param

I tried this but don't know how to reference it in the body of my partialView. I added exactly what you have at the top of my partial and tried @string in the body but it's looking for an identifier.

@RobVious, I updated the answer. Basically use @ Model as your string.

@Model only outputs the first string. How do I get the entire string? Eg. "testing 123" . Model will only print "testing"

@davidbenalal, that's odd. what version are you using?

I was doing @Model without the brackets " ", my bad

You could use TempData (or possibly ViewData) which should be accessible in subsequent views. However, I believe you can also pass variables directly, maybe via query string.

Please see this question as well asp.net mvc parameter from page to a partial view

I really don't want to use ViewData - the data is already available from the ViewModel in my View.
