Difference between Partial View and Render Partial View
In MVC there are two ways of calling your partial view:
- Partial View
- Render Partial View
Partial View
- Return Type: Partial View returns the MvcHtmlString which can be assigned to a variable and manipulate it if required.
Below Image shows the MVCHTMLString return type of partial view.
![Partial View]()
- When to use: Whenever output of the partial view needs to be assigned to variable and manipulate with it then use partial view.
- Performance: This type of view is slower in performance.
Syntax:
@Html.Partial("_PartialStudent", Model)
Render Partial View
- Return Type: Render Partial View returns void and output will be written directly to the output stream.
Below Image shows the Void return type of render partial view.
![Render]()
- When to use: Whenever output of partial view needs to display as it is then use Render Partial view.
- Performance: This type of view is faster in performance.
- Syntax:
@{Html.RenderPartial("_PartialStudent", Model); }
