    MVC easy viewport example with navigation

    Hi all,

    I'm not able to find anywhere a simple example of a viewport in mvc razor with navigation in the north region that loads the center region of the viewport.
    I made an easy example to reproduce, this is what i got already:

    _ViewStart.vbhtml
    @Code
        Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.vbhtml"
    End Code
    _Layout.vbhtml
    @Code
    End Code
    
    
    @(Html.X().Viewport().Layout(LayoutType.Border) _
        .ItemsFromPage(Me, "~/Views/Shared/_North.vbhtml") _
        .ItemsFromSection(Me, "MainContent")
    )

    _North.vbhtml
    @(Html.X().Panel() _
        .Header(False) _
        .Region(Region.North) _
        .Border(False) _
        .Height(40) _
        .MarginSpec("0 5 0 0") _
        .Layout(LayoutType.Fit) _
        .Items.Add( _
            Html.X.Toolbar().Layout(LayoutType.HBox).Items _
            .Add(Html.X.Button() _
                    .Text("Settings") _
                    .Icon(Icon.Wrench) _
                    .Menu(Html.X.Menu.Items _
                        .Add(Html.X.MenuItem() _
                                .Text("Country") _
                                .Icon(Icon.FlagBe) _
                                .DirectEvents(Function(e)
                                                      e.Click.Url = Url.Action("ListCountry", "Country")
                                              End Function)) _
                        )) _
        )
    )
    HomeController
    Public Class HomeController
        Inherits System.Web.Mvc.Controller
    
    
        Function Index() As ActionResult
            ViewData("Message") = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!"
    
    
            Return View()
        End Function
    
    
    End Class
    Home/Index.vbhtml
    @Code
        ViewData("Title") = "Home - Index"
    End Code
              
    @Section MainContent
        @(Html.X.ResourceManager())
    
    
        @(Html.X().Panel() _
            .ID("PanelHome") _
            .Header(False) _
            .Region(Region.Center) _
            .Border(False) _
            .Layout(LayoutType.Fit) _
            .Padding("5") _
            .Title("PanelHome") _
            .Html("Home Panel")
        )    
    End Section
    CountryController
    Namespace MVCViewPort
        Public Class CountryController
            Inherits System.Web.Mvc.Controller
    
    
            Function ListCountry() As ActionResult
                Return View()
            End Function
    
    
        End Class
    
    
    End Namespace
    Country/ListCountry.vbhtml
    @Code
        ViewData("Title") = "ListCountry"
    End Code
    
    
    @Section MainContent
     @(Html.X().Panel() _
            .ID("PanelCountry") _
            .Header(False) _
            .Region(Region.Center) _
            .Border(False) _
            .Layout(LayoutType.Fit) _
            .Padding("5") _
            .Title("PanelCountry") _
            .Html("Country Panel")
        )    
    End Section
    The home page is displayed well, but when i click on the Country-button in the north region, the CountryController is called successfully, but the country view is not loaded in the center region and i don't receive any errors.

    Please help, because i'm already searching for a solution for over weeks.

    Thanx!

    Hi Vladimir,

    Thanx, i saw this one. But the way i'm doing it, isn't that possible? It's just less "complex".

    Regards

    ListCountry must be partial view therefore PartialViewResult must be used
    What complexity do you see in that example?

    It just seemed to me easier without passing container id's and using the rendermode.

    But i will change my code to the partial views
