I have the following code:
public static PartialViewResult DateTime(this HtmlHelper helper)
{
return System.DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
}
and now I want to return a Partial view from inside the DateTime method. But helper instance does not have any method for partial view.
I would like to know what the pros and cons are of creating an extension method v a partial view. From my understanding, htmlHelper extension methods are better as they enable one to unit test the view.
e.g. Assert.AreEqual(Html.Price(), "<td><tr><td>Price</td><td>4.50</td></tr>");
where the Price() method contains the presentation logic.
Since both the extension method and partial view are reusable, what then is the point / benefit of a partial view?
I am having some trouble with returning a View in response to an ActionResult method being invoked. In my view I have a ViewData which holds a value which is being read. Current process.. user selects 1 of three radio buttons, and clicks a button to apply the selection, which in turn triggers method which sets the form ..
this.form =
this.htmlHelper.BeginForm("GridEditingMode",
"Classification")
Now in my controller, I change the value in the ViewData and simply which to return to the View();. Here is we're the fun starts.. I receive the following message, and cannot get around it. The view 'GridEditingMode' or its master was not found. The following locations were searched:

How can I use use an actionResult to return both a view and a partial view. Actually in case of an ajax request it should send a partial view else it should send a view.
public ActionResult Test(string Name ="", DateTime? Date= null, string sex="" )
{
myModel model = new myModel(Name, Date, Sex);
if(IsAjaxRequest)
return PartialView("partialView", model)
else
return View(model);
}
I have a list of items(surveys) displayed on my home page. When I click the edit button for a particular item I have a modal pop up with the items details to edit. When the user clicks Save I submit the form via ajax. Depending on whether ModelState.IsValid == true I want to update the modal with validation information or close the modal and update the list of items with the new information.
This is how I am submitting the form:

My Questions
The only thing I can think to do is return JSON from my controller with a flag indicating the state of the ModelState.IsValid and the corresponding partial that I should show.
1) How would I do this?
2) Is there a better way?
Update
I found this: [URL]
but it seems more likely that I am going about the whole thing incorrectly.
returning a partial view from a controller with different model than my main View. For example:
blic ActionResult Index()
{
//myModel - get Some Types
return View(mymodel);
}
[code]...
Seems like there are a lot of ways to solve this problem.
Currently I make a partial view with a form like so:

What are other ways to accomplish the same thing and what are the pros and cons vs what I am doing?
Is Ajax.Form useful?

I have a Controller set up for a certain View. This View contains 2 partial Views (ascx files). Each partial View has a Controller method that yields its DataModel. The containing View doesn't currently display any data, but just serves as a container for the 2 partial Views.
Here's the problem: The Index action of the containing View runs, but the Controller methods for the partial Views don't, so I get a null exception when the Model tries to render out the data that should be available. I'm using MVC 1.0, which is something of a bummer, since it seems that the next version is supposed to have something other than "RenderPartial" that will assist with this very issue. However, since I'm stuck for the moment with 1.0, can anyone give some advice on getting the Controller methods to run for the partial Views?

making my first steps with asp.net mvc and I actually create a (very) small website.I have 1 controller : TasksController1 view : Tasks/Index.aspx1 Partial View : Tasks/AvailableSorting.ascx In my controller I have 2 methods :
[Code]....
In my Tasks/Index.aspx, I add my partial view (<% Html.RenderPartial("AvaliableSorting"); %>)
That sounds simple. But, It just doesn't work : the Index return a list of Task and the parial view (should) return a list of string.The index.aspx works perfectly, but the partial view doesn't get the right model ! he gets the model of the Index page (list of Task).
