Render Partial View from other controller

Solution 1:

1. You can share views between controllers by putting them into the Views/Shared folder. Each controller can then render that view by name.
2. You can render a partial view (which can be shared between controllers as in (1)) within the current view using Html.Partial().
3. You can use Html.Action() to invoke an action on a different controller and render the results within the current view.
4. You can use AJAX to load a partial view from a different controller after the page has been rendered.

Solution 2:

@Html.Partial("~/Views/ControllerB/Index.cshtml")

Solution 3:

Yes,

return PartialView("/path/view.cshtml");

You just need to work out the path part.

Alternatively you can put the partial view in views/shared then just return :

return PartialView("view.cshtml");

Solution 4:

Just a side note as i found this thread searching for the same question but the answers weren't working: in Orchard CMS modules you cannot use the neat solution posted by Pittfall, you have to use relative paths to return partial views. Lets say you have a controller

Controllers/SiteController.cs

and you want to return the partial view

Shared/MessageList/Items

then in your action methods you need to write

return PartialView("../Shared/MessageList/Items");
