ASP.NET MVC2: Can I return the same PartialView from more than one Action?

Question

Hello,

I am using PartialView object for all the CRUD operations in my project.

I would like to return from more than one action (Create/Read/Edit) always the same PartialView that I have previously binded to the correct model object.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Just add this to the end of every action that you want the partial returned from

return PartialView("PartialViewName", yourModelName)

Answer 2

You can specify, which (Partial)View you want to return from an action like this:

return PartialView("ViewName", viewModel);

If you want to use the partial view from different controllers, then put it in the Views/Shared folder.

Answer 3

Just do it. Add Create, Edit, and delete views and have each of them Render the partial view where you want it.
