Question

I have some variables defined in partial view called (Partial1.ascx)

  string value1 = "value1";
  string value2 = "value2";
  int id = 7;

Now in ASPX page view, I want to use the above values. In my normal view (aspx page) I have like this:

  <%Html.RenderPartial("Partial1.ascx");%>

  <%=value1 %> becomes <%=value2 %> with his id which is <%=id %>

But the compiler throws error that the value1, value2 and id is not defined.

How to use these variables ?

Have I to define a model (new one) and pass as parameter in RenderPartial function -> <%Html.RenderPartial("Partial1.ascx", NewModel);%> ?

Thank you

You have to define the NewModel in a code block like this on the in the view:

<% var newModel = new NewModel(); %>

In your partial view you assign the properties in a code block like this:

<%
  Model.Id = 2;
  Model.Test = "newString";
%>

Then you can access the properties on the original viewpage like this:

<p><%=newModel.Test %></p>
<p><%=newModel.Id %></p>
