How to Render Partial View into a String
- by DaveDev
Hi all, I have the following code:
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
return new JsonpResult
{
Data = new { Widget = "some partial html for the widget" }
};
}
I'd like to modify it so that I could have
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
// will render HTML that I can pass to the JSONP result to return.
var partial = RenderPartial(viewModel);
return new JsonpResult
{
Data = new { Widget = partial }
};
}
is this possible? Could somebody explain how?
note, I edited the question before posting the solution.
