I have a ASP.Net MVC JsonResult function in which I want to return the contents of a PartialView (The content has to be loaded using Ajax, and for some reason I can't return a PartialViewResult).
To render the PartialView I need the ViewContext object.
How do you get the current ViewContext object within an Action method? I don't even ...
I read several examples on the web which use the following code:
Private Function SomeFunction(ByVal htmlhelper As HtmlHelper) As String
Dim controller As Controller = htmlhelper.ViewContext.Controller
If controller IsNot Nothing Then
Dim vname as String = htmlhelper.ViewContext.ViewName 'This doesnt work
End If
End...
I would like to create a static helper method that I can call from a view.
Is it possible for a helper method to have access to the current ViewContext without needing to explicitly pass the ViewContext to the method as a parameter?
Something like HttpContext.Current except for ViewContext.
Thanks for any help.
