How can I pass parameters to a partial view in mvc 4

One of The Shortest method i found for single value while i was searching for myself, is just passing single string and setting string as model in view like this.

In your Partial calling side

@Html.Partial("ParitalAction", "String data to pass to partial")

And then binding the model with Partial View like this

@model string

and the using its value in Partial View like this

@Model

You can also play with other datatypes like array, int or more complex data types like IDictionary or something else.

Hope it helps,


Your question is hard to understand, but if I'm getting the gist, you simply have some value in your main view that you want to access in a partial being rendered in that view.

If you just render a partial with just the partial name:

@Html.Partial("_SomePartial")

It will actually pass your model as an implicit parameter, the same as if you were to call:

@Html.Partial("_SomePartial", Model)

Now, in order for your partial to actually be able to use this, though, it too needs to have a defined model, for example:

@model Namespace.To.Your.Model

@Html.Action("MemberProfile", "Member", new { id = Model.Id })

Alternatively, if you're dealing with a value that's not on your view's model (it's in the ViewBag or a value generated in the view itself somehow, then you can pass a ViewDataDictionary

@Html.Partial("_SomePartial", new ViewDataDictionary { { "id", someInteger } });

And then:

@Html.Action("MemberProfile", "Member", new { id = ViewData["id"] })

As with the model, Razor will implicitly pass your partial the view's ViewData by default, so if you had ViewBag.Id in your view, then you can reference the same thing in your partial.
