Hi Claus,

The syntax for inerting a partial view is like this:

@{Html.RenderPartial("NameOfPartialView"); }

Here is a post by Doug that´s give a good explanation: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/44664-Confused-over-when-DynamicNodeList-is-returned

And here are some more information about Partial views: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/partial-views

Hope this helps,

I think im gonna read Warrens blog from end to end. It helped me out on the basics of views as well.

Thanks

this might not be the place to put this, but the mvc partials documentation page( http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/templating/macros/Partial-View-Macros/ ) has no discussion portion to it.

i followed the code pattern to implent a simple html table. i am gettig my partial to render on the page, but it replicated four times. is the documentation on this subject which does not open issues?

Just curious about @Dennis post for rendering a partial. He mentions using 

@{Html.RenderPartial("NameOfPartialView");}

would their be a downfall to using the following to render a partial?

@Html.Partial("NameOfPartialView", Model)

I'm just curious if there is a difference & if one way is preferred over the other.

Hi Blake,

I don´t think there any difference, if you see the documentation the use the syntax that you mentions. http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/partial-views.

My example on how to render a partial are taken from the Txt starter-kit, that you can install in the version 7 of Umbraco.

thank you, ill take a look at that.

Hi,

There's a good comparison of the different ways to render a view with pros and cons here: http://www.dotnet-tricks.com/Tutorial/mvc/Q8V2130113-RenderPartial-vs-RenderAction-vs-Partial-vs-Action-in-MVC-Razor.html

A little bit late to the game here but here is the basis for how I determine if I use Partial Views or Partial View Macro Files. (I learned this at the latest Version 7 Masterclass last week because I had the same question.) 

If you have to pass a parameter, then you want to use Partial View Macro Files as it is wrapped in a macro and can support taking a paramater passed from your template. If you don't need to pass a parameter to your view, then a Partial View is used. 

On a side note, Scripting Files aren't needed anymore as they are replaced by Partial Views and Partial View Macro Files.

you can also try my approach which is explained in detail here

This is making use both partial and macro altogether, but still it depends on your needs

is working on a reply...
