.Net ASP.Net MVC Javascript

Some one asked me how we can load partial views on link click. Here is the snippet for the same.

Long version - Using JQuery

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#loadPartialView").click(function () {
    $.get('@Url.Action("LoadPartialView","Home")', {}, function (response) {
        $("#Display").html(response);
    });
});
</script>

And here is the small version using Ajax.ActionLink

@Ajax.ActionLink("Load Partial View", "LoadPartialView", "Home",
    new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "Display" })

In the page, you need to add a DIV with Id attribute which got a value “Display”, partial view will be loaded to this DIV.

And here is the controller action

public ActionResult LoadPartialView()
{
    return PartialView("_PartialView");
}

Happy Programming :)
