How can I load Partial view inside the view?

I am very confuse with this partial view.

I want to load a partial view inside my main view.

Here is the simple example.

I am loading Index.cshtml of the Homecontroller Index action as a main page.

In index.cshtml, I am creating a link via

@Html.ActionLink("load partial view","Load","Home")

in HomeController I am adding a new Action called

public PartialViewResult Load()
{
    return PartialView("_LoadView");
}

in _LoadView.cshmtl I am just having a

<div>
    Welcome !!
</div>

BUT, when run the project, index.cshtml renders first and shows me the link "Load Partial View". when I click on that it goes to new page instade of rendering the welcome message from _LoadView.cshtml into the index.cshtml.

What can be wrong?

Note: I don't want to load page through AJAX or don't want to use Ajax.ActionLink .

If you want to load the partial view directly inside the main view you could use the Html.Action helper:

@Html.Action("Load", "Home")

or if you don't want to go through the Load action use the HtmlPartialAsync helper:

@await Html.PartialAsync("_LoadView")

If you want to use Ajax.ActionLink, replace your Html.ActionLink with:

@Ajax.ActionLink(
    "load partial view", 
    "Load", 
    "Home", 
    new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "result" }
)

and of course you need to include a holder in your page where the partial will be displayed:

<div id="result"></div>

Also don't forget to include:

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

in your main view in order to enable Ajax.* helpers. And make sure that unobtrusive javascript is enabled in your web.config (it should be by default):

<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />

I had exactly the same problem as Leniel. I tried fixes suggested here and a dozen other places. The thing that finally worked for me was simply adding

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")

to my layout...

If you do it with a @Html.ActionLink() then loading the PartialView is handled as a normal request when clicking a anchor-element, i.e. load new page with the reponse of the PartialViewResult method.
If you want to load it immedialty, then you use @Html.RenderPartial("_LoadView") or @Html.RenderAction("Load").
If you want to do it upon userinteraction (i.e. clicking a link) then you need to use AJAX --> @Ajax.ActionLink()

For me this worked after I downloaded AJAX Unobtrusive library via NuGet :

 Search and install via NuGet Packages:   Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax

Than add in the view the references to jquery and AJAX Unobtrusive:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js"> </script>

Next the Ajax ActionLink and the div were we want to render the results:

@Ajax.ActionLink(
    "Click Here to Load the Partial View", 
    "ActionName", 
    null, 
    new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "toUpdate" }
)

<div id="toUpdate"></div>

if you want to populate contents of your partial view inside your view you can use

@Html.Partial("PartialViewName")

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

if you want to make server request and process the data and then return partial view to you main view filled with that data you can use

...
    @Html.Action("Load", "Home")
...

public PartialViewResult Load()
{
    return PartialView("_LoadView");
}

if you want user to click on the link and then populate the data of partial view you can use:

@Ajax.ActionLink(
    "Click Here to Load the Partial View", 
    "ActionName", 
    "ControlerName",
    null, 
    new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "toUpdate" }
)
