ASP.NET MVC partial control

I think this is what you're trying to achieve:

Say, in your Model, you have an Employee (or list of, either or):

Employee Employee { get; set; }

So, your main View should have this:

@Html.DisplayFor(Model => Model.Employee);

But, how do I template this, you ask?

You should take a step back at this stage and consider making a new ViewModel, an EmployeeViewModel (this, in your mind, should be your "partial view").

So now you'll have:

EmployeeViewModel Employee { get; set; }

Now, create a folder in your Views/Shared called DisplayTemplates and create EmployeeViewModel.cshtml. To be clear, you'll now have /Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates/EmployeeViewModel.cshtml.

The top line of this should read:

@model YourNamespace.EmployeeViewModel

And now you can simply use in this View:

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.EmployeeName) // or whatever properties you have

That should be sufficient enough to get you started.

In MVC, Views should not contains any logic other than display logic.

The Controller should be the one that "knows how to get the employees" or create an employee Model which will then pass to a View that knows how to display an employee, in most cases, it would be a strictly-typed View of type Employee.

PartialView will be fine to you. so search some content by the keyword 'PartialView'
