How to render JavaScript into MasterLayout section from partial view?

Question

Given MVC3 and Razor engine, I got

_MasterLayout.cshtml

@RenderSection(\"JavaScript\", required: false)
..
..
@RenderBody()
..
         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me allowing me to co-locate javascript and html for partial view in same file for ease of readability

In View which uses Partial View called "_MyPartialView.cshtml"

    @Html.Partial("_MyPartialView",< model for partial view>,
            new ViewDataDictionary { { "Region", "HTMLSection" } } })


@section scripts{

    @Html.Partial("_MyPartialView",, 
                  new ViewDataDictionary { { "Region", "ScriptSection" } })

 }

In Partial View file

@model SomeType

@{
    var region = ViewData["Region"] as string;
}

@if (region == "HTMLSection")
{


}

@if (region == "ScriptSection")
{
