What is the difference between Html.Partial and Html.RenderPartial and Html.Action and Html.RenderAction?

Question

Anonymous User · Answer

Html.Partial returns a String, Html.RenderPartial calls write internally, and returns void.

The basic usage is.

@Html.Partial("ViewName")
@{ Html.RenderPartial("ViewName");  }
 
@{
    Html.Partial("ViewName");
    Html.RenderPartial("ViewName");
}

In the snippet above, both calls will yield the same result.

While one can store the output of Html.Partial in a variable or return it from a method, one cannot do this with Html.RenderPartial. The result will be written to the Response stream during execution/evaluation.

This also applies to Html.Action and Html.RenderAction.
