When to use Html.RenderPartial and Html.RenderAction in ASP.NET MVC Razor Views - Arrange Act Assert In this blog post I want to show examples when to use Html.RenderPartial and Html.RenderAction when creating web sites in ASP.NET MVC using the Razor view engine. Some background information on Html.RenderAction and Html.RenderPartial Html.RenderAction is a somewhat contentious feature because it invokes a controller action. This means each time it’s called a new request (which has to go through the ASP.NET MVC pipeline) is made. As shown below ASP.NET MVC requests are routed to a controller. A view has one responsibility and that’s to render HTML. The thing MVC traditionalists frown upon is the fact that Html.RenderAction can execute child actions in ASP.NET MVC views. However given that Html.RenderAction just like an AJAX request is a form of sub request, the case against seems somewhat outdated and doesn’t take into the account using Html.RenderAction will allow you to separate concerns of models and controllers as we will see later in this post.
