Render a Macro Partial View in a Partial View
Hello, I try to render a Macro Partial View from within a Partial View like so:
```
@{ Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/MacroPartials/Divider.cshtml"); }
```
But it doesn't work.. gives me this error message:

When this works I would also like to pass Parameters from the PartialView to the Macro. Let's say I would want to pass @CurrentPage.images to the macro parameter called "images". Which I would then get in the Macro with Model.MacroParameters["images"]

Thanks for helping!

EDIT: this is my umbraco version: Umbraco version 7.2.1 assembly: 1.0.5462.37503

Hi TempleClause,

I think you should called the partial view like this
```
@{Html.RenderPartial("Divider");}
```
Try to see this documentation https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/partial-views

You said that you are passing a parameter to the parial view, then I think you are working with a parial view maraco. For call this you need to do it like this.
```
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("Divider")
```
The documentation for the parial view macros can you find here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Macros/Partial-View-Macros/

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Yes exactly, was looking for @Umbraco.RenderMacro("Divider")

Just need to be able to pass the parameters. I see this definition:
```
public IHtmlString RenderMacro(string alias, IDictionary<string, object> parameters);
```
So i did this:
```
@{
    Dictionary<string, object> asd = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    asd.Add("test", "cool this works!");
}
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("Divider", asd)
```
And tried to read the "test" parameter like this:

@Model.MacroParameters["test"]

but now it get the error message: Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/Divider.cshtml)

By the way, is there a way to turn on error messsages? So I would see why this Partial View gets an error?

Thanks for the help

EDIT: solution is in next post

Figured it out myself! I forgot to define the parameter in the Umbraco Backend under Devolper/Macros

Thanks for helping. Looks like you really are the friendliest community ;-)
