Question

I have existing ASP.NET MVC View pages and View user controls which I currently use in normal straightforward ASP.NET MVC fashion, sometimes I use RenderPartialView or RenderAction, etc.
By themselves they include tag. I would like to dynamically load either Views or ViewUserControl based on the selection in a dropdown list.

I’m having trouble deciding should I remove from Views and controls and put it just into the one View that will do dynamic rendering or to leave it there and leave outside of the .

What do you think and how would you go about it?

Answer 1

You can use JQuery to get the HTML from your Partial views and substitute it in the div. It could be something like this:

$.get('/Controller/Action',function(data){
   $('div').innerHtml(data); 
});

I did it this way and it works. /Controller/Action can be a partial view which returns HTML.
