ASP.NET MVC PartialView with List

Question

I am at my first MVC project. I want to create a page with a header and in this header to be placed a partial view with category list. This is what I did so far: I created the master page (_Home.cshtml). Than in Shared folder I created a View (Category.cshtml). See my picture. My Category.cshtml content: ``` @model IEnumerable

@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")

@foreach (var item in Model) { ``` } My master page file: ``` @{ Layout = null; }

@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Name)	@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Visible)
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)	@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Visible)	@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.ID }) \| @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ID }) \| @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.ID })

Accepted Answer

If you want to interpret those partials as some static sections inside your HTML, then I would suggest you to call `Html.Action()` which returns your partials:

```
@Html.Action("GetPageHeader","Home")
@Html.Action("GetPageCategories","Home")
```

HomeController

```
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GetPageHeader()
{
   return PartialView(@"~/Views/Shared/_PageHeader.cshtml");
}

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GetPageCategories()
{
   var categories = databaseContext.GetAllCategories(); //Get your categs
   return PartialView(@"~/Views/Shared/_Categories.cshtml",categories);
}
```
