Html.Partial vs Html.RenderPartial & Html.Action vs Html.RenderAction

Question

In ASP.NET MVC, what is the difference between:

• Html.Partial and Html.RenderPartial
• Html.Action and Html.

Answer 1

@Html.Partial returns view in HTML-encoded string and use same view TextWriter object. @Html.RenderPartial this method return void. @Html.RenderPartial is faster than @Html.Partial

The syntax for PartialView:

 [HttpGet] 
 public ActionResult AnyActionMethod
 {
     return PartialView();
 }
