In ASP.NET MVC, how to make a partial view available to all controllers? I want to create a navigation that is common to the whole site, but when I put Html.Action in my main page, it only works with views associated with 1 controller.
I currently have a controller action defined as follows:
[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult GetCategoriesPartial()
{
var category = CategoriesDataContext.GetCategories();
return PartialView(category);
}
And I created my partial view as follows:
<%@ Import Namespace="wopr.Models" %>
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<ul>
<%
foreach (var cat in Model as IEnumerable<Category>) {
%>
<li><a href="/categories/Details/<%=cat.catID%>"><%=cat.catName%></a></li>
<%
}
%>
</ul>
My master page is as follows:
<%@ Import Namespace="wopr.Models" %>
<%@ Master Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" /></title>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" href="/Content/Site.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap-all">
<div style="text-align:right;">
<a href="/">Home</a> |
<a href="/games/">Games</a> |
<a href="/games/Index2/1">Games <em>(paginated)</em></a> |
<a href="/categories/">Categories</a> |
<a href="/upload/">Upload</a>
</div>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<%= Html.Action("GetCategoriesPartial")%>
</div>
</body>
</html>
, -, Controller. , , :
System.Web.HttpException: "GetCategoriesPartial" "wopr.Controllers.GamesController".
