Partial View

Partial view is a reusable view, which can be used as a child view in multiple other views. It eliminates duplicate coding by reusing same partial view in multiple places. You can use the partial view in the layout view, as well as other content views.

If a partial view will be shared with multiple views of different controller folder then create it in the Shared folder, otherwise you can create the partial view in the same folder where it is going to be used.

Render Partial View
You can render the partial view in the parent view using html helper methods: Partial() or RenderPartial() or RenderAction(). Each method serves different purposes. Let's have an overview of each method and then see how to render partial view using these methods.

Html.Partial()
@Html.Partial() helper method renders the specified partial view. It accept partial view name as a string parameter and returns MvcHtmlString. It returns html string so you have a chance of modifing the html before rendering.
