Renderpartial or renderaction
- by femi
have an action that generates active vacancies. The code is below;
public ViewResult OpenVacancies()
{
var openvacancies = db.GetActiveVacancies();
return View(openvacancies);
}
I want to use this list on several pages so i guess the best thing to use is html.renderaction (please correct me if i am wrong here).
Please note that the view and .ascx control are in an Area.
I then created a view by right clicking inside the action and create a .ascx and a strongly typed view of Vacancy. I chose a view content of "List".
I then added this line to the required page;
<% Html.RenderAction("OpenVacancies"); %
Please note that the view and .ascx control are in an Area.
The error i got is;
The type or namespace name 'Vacancy' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
the .ascx code is below;
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %
