Using Html.RenderPartial() in ascx files

Question

I\'m trying to use Html.RenderPartial in acsx file and I\'m getting an error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1973: \'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper\' has no a

Answer 1

In case anyone else made the same mistake I did:

@Model MyViewModel

This will treat your model as dynamic

@model MyViewModel

This is a correctly strongly typed view. Note the lack of capitalisation!

Note, that this is Razor, unlike the original question.

Answer 2

The compiler cannot choose the correct method because your Model is dynamic. Change the call to:

<% Html.RenderPartial("ProjectName", (int)(Model.Id)); %>

Or any other datatype Id is.

Answer 3

The only way i found to pass eg. an IEnumerable was to create a local variable and pass in this one. For Example @{ IEnumerable<Demo.Models.Friend> friends = Model.Friends; Html.RenderPartial("_FriendsList", friends); }

Html.RenderPartial("_FriendsList", (IEnumerable<Demo.Models.Friends>)(Model.Friends)); did not work!
