Explain what is the difference between View and Partial View?

Question

Manish Kumar · Answer

View:MVC view contains the layout page.Before any view is rendered, viewstart page is rendered.View might have markup tags like body, html, head, title, meta etc.View is not lightweight as compare to Partial View.Partial View:Partial does not contain the layout page.It does not verify for a viewstart.cshtml. We cannot put common code for a partial view within the viewStart.cshtml.page.In MVC Partial view is designed specially to render within the view and just because of that it does not consist any mark up.We can pass a regular view to the RenderPartial method.
