Question

I am working on asp.net 3 application. I have a view which is report of data coming from different tables. on this view, I need to create a form with input elements. This form should be submitted without postback.

1) Should I create a partial view or add it inside current view / In later case Do I need to create/update viewmodel that is passed to view?

2) How can I post the form asynchronously using partial view or inside same view ?

Answer 1

Create the partial view for this form, and instead of posting back, use jQuery to handle the click event, which will fire a jQuery.post() to your Action that processes the data. Your action should then return the (updated) partial view, with which you can use

$('div.yourcontainerclass').html(data)

in your success event handler of the jQuery post to reload the updated partial view.
