Question

Just I am learning MVC,(ofcourse i get enough information from MS Website).I want to quickly
clarify some details.

1) What is the use of PartialView in MVC,Is it similar to partial update of Ajax?
I am does the partialView modify the HTML DOM structure?

2)Can i use Response.Redirect() in MVC?

Answer 1

1) Partial View is more like a UserControl. Update Panels are not fully supported (in my eyes a good thing as they add a lot to page size). You can use them as such:

<div id="logindisplay">
                <% Html.RenderPartial("LogOnUserControl"); %>
            </div>

2) You can use Response.Redirect in MVC but you may prefer to use RedirectToAction as it will help with your routing if you ever come to change it

return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
