Rendering Partial Views using ajax

If you want to load the page and then load the partial view via ajax you could create an ActionMethod that does something like:

public ActionResult Create()
{
     var model = new MyModel();

     if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
     {
          return PartialView( "_Partial", model.PartialModel );
     }
     else
     {
          return View( model );
     } 
}

and then in your page do something like:

$(function(){

    $(document).ajaxStart(function () {
        //show a progress modal of your choosing
        showProgressModal('loading');
    });
    $(document).ajaxStop(function () {
        //hide it
        hideProgressModal();
    });

    $.ajax({
          url: '/controller/create',
          dataType: 'html',
          success: function(data) {
             $('#myPartialContainer').html(data);
          }
    });
});
