I have the following controller action:
[ChildActionOnly]
public virtual PartialViewResult ListActions(int id)
{
var actions = meetingActionRepository.GetAllMeetingActions(id);
return PartialView(actions);
}
And the following action link (using t4MVC and the razor syntax)
<p>
@Html.RenderAction(MVC.MeetingActions.ListActions(Model.MeetingId))
</p>
However this gives me the error:
cannot implicitly convert type void to object
As far as i can tell the controller action is ok, so what could be giving me this error?
Like this:
<p>
@Html.Action(MVC.MeetingActions.ListActions(Model.MeetingId))
</p>
or if you insist on RenderAction
like this:
<p>
@{Html.RenderAction(MVC.MeetingActions.ListActions(Model.MeetingId));}
</p>
Personally I prefer the first, makes fewer keystrokes.
Html.Partial should work as well :)
@Html.Partial("View", Model);
I had the same issue. What worked for me is to encapsulate the expression it in curly brackets.
@{Html.RenderPartial("viewName", Model);}
Difference between Html.RenderAction and Html.Action
Different things for different purposes.
