Introduction
In this post, I am explain how to Create partial view (Usercontrol) in MVC 4.
In web form application we use usercontrol for create reusable elements, same way in MVC we will use partial view.
Prerequisite
I used followings:
- .Net framework 4.0
- Entity Framework
- Sql Server 2008
Steps :
Just follow the steps and get result easily.
Step - 1 : Create New Project
Go to File > New > Project > Select asp.net mvc4 web application > Entry Application Name > Click OK.
Step-2: Add a Database.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on App_Data folder > Add > New item > Select SQL Server Database Under Data > Enter Database name > Add.
Step-3: Create a tables and insert data for show in partial view.
Open Database > Right Click on Table > Add New Table > Add Columns > Save > Enter table name > Ok.
In this example I have created a table "Population"
Step-4: Add Entity Data Model.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project name form Solution Explorer > Add > New item > Select ADO.net Entity Data Model under data > Enter model name > Add.
A popup window will come (Entity Data Model Wizard) > Select Generate from database > Next >
Chose your data connection > select your database > next > Select tables > enter Model Namespace > Finish.
Step-5: Add Action for render Main View.
Go To Controller > Add your action > write following code and Rebuild your application.
public ActionResult ViewWithPartial()
{
return View();
}
Step-6: Add Action for render Partial View.
Go To Controller > Add your action > write following code.
public ActionResult WorldpopulationTopTen()
{
using (WorldPopulationEntities dc = new WorldPopulationEntities())
{
var v = dc.Populations.OrderByDescending(a => a.Population1).ToList();
return PartialView("_TopTenCountry", v);
}
}
Step-7: Add Partial View.
Please rebuild your application before create view.
Right Click on Home(folder) under Views(Folder) > Add > View > Enter View name > Check "Create a Strongly-typed view" > Select "Model Class" > Check "Create as a partial view". > Add.
Write following Code inside your view
@model IEnumerable<MVCPartialView.Population>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "_TopTenCountry";
}
<h2>Top Ten Country based on Population</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Sl. No.</th>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Population</th>
<th>Percentage(%)</th>
</tr>
@foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SlNo)</td>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Country)</td>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Population1) </td>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Percentage)</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
Step-8: Add View (main view).
Go To Controller > Right Click on Action (Main Action) > Add View > Enter View Name > Add.
Write following Code inside your view.
@{
ViewBag.Title = "ViewWithPartial";
}
<h2>View With Partial</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<b>View Content</b>
