Question

I want to use a partial view to represent the rows of a table:

// SomeItem.cshtml
@model SomeItemModel
<tr>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.SomeField)
    </td>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.AnotherField)
    </td>
</tr>

And call it from a view representing a page containing that table:

// SomeCollection.cshtml
@model SomeCollection
...
<table><tbody>
@foreach (TipoDocumentoModel item in Model) {
    Html.Partial("SomeItem", item);
}>
</tbody></table>
...

But it doesn’t work. Why?

Answer 1

Calling Html.Partial returns a MvcHtmlString without writing anything to the page.

You need to add an @ to render the MvcHtmlString to the page.
