Rendering a derived partial view with Html.RenderPartial
- by FreshCode
Calling Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Payments/MyControl.ascx"); from a view works if Method.ascx is a control that directly inherits System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl.
However, if the control inherits a new class that derives from System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl, the call to Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Payments/MyDerivedControl.ascx"); fails, reporting that no such view exists.
Example derived ViewUserControl:
class MyDerivedControl : System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl
{
public Method()
{
ViewData["SomeData"] = "test";
}
}
Is there a workaround, or is there another way I should be doing this? Perhaps an HTML helper?
