I have tried adding a section script inside a view component's view. @section scripts { <script src="~/somepath" asp-append-version="true"></script> } I also have the Render Section in the shared layout @RenderSection("scripts", required: false) When used in partial views and elsewhere in the project the script loads fine. However when in a View Component the script does not load. I suppose I could include the script in the section tag of every view that calls the component.

I'm writing a custom TagHelper and want to render a ViewComponent inside it. Something similar to what vc:xyz tag helper does, but in a more controlled way, so that I can determine at runtime which ViewComponent to render. Is it possible?

I'd like to define view components (which are new in ASP.NET MVC 6) in a separate assembly from the MVC 6 web startup project so that I can reuse them in multiple web projects. A sample solution might look like this: BookStore.Components (houses common view components) BookStore.Web1 (references BookStore.Components) BookStore.Web2 (references BookStore.Components) I created a new Class Library (Package) and created a view component inside.

I have a viewcomponent that contains some reusable business logic that embed in various pages. This has been working fine. However, I now have a requirement to refresh the viewcomponent using ajax.

On beta7 it is now possible to return a ViewComponent directly from a controller. Check the MVC/Razor section of the announcement The new ViewComponentResult in MVC makes it easy to return the result of a ViewComponent

In ViewComponent object, HttpContext and User are read-only properties. How to unit test such a component? I'm using the MSTest Freamwork. The follow properties are used in my code Cookie Session User(System.Security.Principal) public ViewViewComponentResult Invoke() { var vm = new SummaryViewModel(); if (User.Identity is ClaimsIdentity identity && identity.IsAuthenticated) { vm.IsAuthenticated = true; vm.UserName = identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "UserName").Value; vm.PhotoUrl = identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "FacePicture").Value; } return View(vm); } [TestMethod]
