The title pretty much states my question.
I have a view (say, Action1) in a controller (Foo) and another view (Action2) in another controller (Bar). In Action1 view, I want to use Html.Partial or Html.RenderPartial to call Action2‘s view.
I am aware of that I can use Html.RenderAction in Action1, but that will (I think) create the Bar controller and go through the whole controller/action resolution cycle, and I don’t want that, as this may be less efficient.
So, my goal is that I want to reuse the Action2‘s veiw. How can I achieve this?
Consider moving the partial to the Views\Shared folder.
Then you can render it from anywhere:
E.g:
Razor:
ASPX:
If you don’t want to do that, then pull as much markup from the main partial as you can into a custom display template, then re-use that across the two Views.
And yes, your right about
@Html.Actiongoing through the request pipeline, and@Html.Partialnot.
