C # MVC FindPartialView cannot find path

Question

I am using MVC4. I am trying to get an html string representation.

ViewEngineResult viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, viewName); 

I put the viewname as "create". But returning to viewResult is a null representation and shows SearchedLocartion as well

 ~/Views/LWWApplication/Create.aspx ~/Views/LWWApplication/Create.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Create.aspx ~/Views/LWWApplication/Create.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Create.cshtml 

Actually the fourth one file (~ / Views / LWWApplication / Create.cshtml) .but returned as not found.View and the controller contains the same folder structure.

Please, help.

Answer 1

Try this, it works in MVC3

ViewName must contain the whole path, for example ~/Views/Shared/_Create.cshtml

  ViewEngineResult viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, viewName); 

Answer 2

Specify the full location of the partial display:

 var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, "~/Areas/AreaName/Views/Preferences/Email.cshtml");
