This is the code which I have in my partial view
@model Contoso.MvcApplication.Models.Exercises.AbsoluteArithmetic
@using(Html.BeginForm())
{
<div>
<span style="width: 110px; float:left; text-align:center; font-size:2.5em;">@Model.Number1</span>
<span style="width: 110px; float:left; text-align:center; font-size:2.5em;">+</span>
<span style="width: 110px; float:left; text-align:center; font-size:2.5em;">@Model.Number2</span>
<span style="width: 110px; float:left; text-align:center; font-size:2.5em;">=</span>
<span>
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Result)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Result)
</span>
</div>
}
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
Please note at the bottom of my code, I've got a @section
, and I realized that it's not running if I set a breakpoint there. If I move that line in the _Layout.cshtml it works well, but that's not the idea.
How can I tell to MVC4 in a partial razor view that I want to add that library?
You can use
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/my-script.js")
for .js files and @Styles.Render("~/Content/my-Stylesheet.css")
for css files.
Nb: it works for a particular bundle also More details - 'http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/performance/bundling-and-minification'
it works on any sub-pages in razor including partial views.
for more info google for the usage of these helpers
You can't render layout sections from a partial. Move the section definition to the parent page or layout.
Check out my answer How to render a Section in a Partial View, which allows you to define Scripts and Styles in any view/partial view. It also takes care of duplicate includes.
My personal take is that sections aren't a good solution for styles and javascript includes.
There is no common solution for this issue but you can do the following simplest ways:
1) You can create a set of extension method as the following:

2) Simply move your javascript codes into a separated partial view and on your main view, render 2 partial views. One for the main partial view and the other for your scripts as the following:
{
// markup and razor code for Main View here
@Html.Partial("Main_PartialView")
}
@section Scripts
{
@Html.Partial("JavaScript_PartialView")
}
Hope it helps.
You can add the script directly at the end of the partial view html, without script section (because script section is not rendered in partial views)
<script language="javascript">
// Your scripts here
// ....
</script>
This worked for me allowing me to colocate JavaScript and HTML for partial view in same file for ease of readability
In View which uses Partial View called "_MyPartialView.cshtml"
<div>
@Html.Partial("_MyPartialView",< model for partial view>,
new ViewDataDictionary { { "Region", "HTMLSection" } } })
</div>
@section scripts{
@Html.Partial("_MyPartialView",<model for partial view>,
new ViewDataDictionary { { "Region", "ScriptSection" } })
}
In Partial View file
@model SomeType
@{
var region = ViewData["Region"] as string;
}
@if (region == "HTMLSection")
{
}
@if (region == "ScriptSection")
{
<script type="text/javascript">
</script">
}
This Stackoverflow page provided a full solution to this question: Using sections in Editor/Display templates
TL;DR: Just add the Forloop.HtmlHelpers nuget package https://www.nuget.org/packages/Forloop.HtmlHelpers/ to your project to allow you to run Javascript from Razor Partial Views and Templates in ASP.NET MVC. I have personally used this with my MVC 5 project.
