In this blog I have described how to render partial view using Ajax method within any control. Ajax provides flexibility to render page without post back. Steps are given below

Step 1: First create partial view. For demonstration I have created “_server” partial view in Shared folder.

Step 2: Create action in your controller. Here I have created action “Server” in Home controller.

public PartialViewResult Server()
{    
  return PartialView("_server");
}

Step 3: Now come to your View and call Partial View. For demonstration, I have call partial view from Index view and write below line of code.

Using ActionLink

<div id="atag">
 @Ajax.ActionLink("Click", "Server", "Home", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "atag" })
</div>

Using Submit Button

<div id="btnsubmit">
 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("Server", "Home", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "btnsubmit" }))
        {
            <input type="submit" value="Click" />
        }
</div>

Note:

Add below script that required for execute Ajax attribute

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/modernizr-2.5.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
