What is the difference (if any) between Html.Partial(view, model) and Html.RenderPartial(view,model)
- by Stephane
Other than the type it returns and the fact that you call it differently of course
<% Html.RenderPartial(...); %>
<%= Html.Partial(...) %>
If they are different, why would you call one rather than the other one?
