I want to use partial views with AJAX calls in ASP.NET MVC, and this is the first time I\'m using it. I just searched to see if there is anything special I should know befor
There is an [AjaxOnly] attribute provided in the ASP.NET MVC 3 Futures collection. It's a part of the official ASP.NET MVC Codeplex site that provides features before they are officially included in a future version of ASP.NET MVC.
You can download it here. To use it, add a reference to the Microsoft.Web.Mvc assembly included in the release package.
There is an explanation of the attribute on this page, along with all the other great features you can use.
