[CLOSED] PartialViewRenderer Razor

[Timothy]

Hello,

Just curious if you have any timeline for the PartialViewRenderer to support Razor? I've hit numerous parts in my application testing that would make this extremely useful :)

Any suggestions how to get around not having the support? Would you suggest XHR calls for the time being?

Cheers,
Timothy

Hi,

I will try to implement it on this week

[Vladimir]

By the way, i found that Html.Partial works correctly in my test case with Ext.Net widgets (Razor)

@Html.Partial("PartialRazorView")

Can you confirm it? Or there are aby issues?

Hello vladsch,

Thanks for looking into it. Only problem with @Html.Partial() is that it does not support single control, especially if you are trying to stack the controls. The content of my partial view is a single control with children.

Hope that makes sense?

I'm going to use XHR calls for the time being.

Cheers,
Timothy

Can you provide more details about "@Html.Partial() is that it does not support single control"? What single control do you mean?

Ext.Net/MVC/PartialViewResult.cs line 77

vladsch, I think .ItemsFromPage() and .ContentFromPage() might actually be the MVC Razor equivalent of PartialViewRenderer in ASP.NET Forms. Perhaps having PartialViewRenderer support Razor would be a redundant task since you already have ItemFromPage/ContentFromPage?

SingleControl is supported by WebForm engine only because Razor doesn't know about control term and we have no any controls hierarchy under Razor

Perhaps having PartialViewRenderer support Razor would be a redundant task single you already have ItemFromPage/ContentFromPage?

May be but ItemFromPage/ContentFromPage doesn't support passing of another model and view data (like Html.Partial)

Thanks, I'll leave the decision up to you guys on how to best handle it. ItemsFromPage/ContentFromPage are going to satisfy my requirements as I do not have another model / view data to pass to my pages.

Also, thanks for the clarification on the SingleControl in the MVC Razor structure.

Cheers,
Timothy

I attached zip file with MVC sandbox project, it contains several useful examples of ItemsFromSection, ItemsFromPage methods (just rename txt to zip after downloading)

[Timothy]

Thanks vladsch, you can close this item. I appreciate the demo zip :)

Cheers
