Passing view from one controller to another controller's view
Question
Is it possible to pass another controller's view to the first controller's view? I have controller1 with view1. I need to call another controller2 action method from view1 and pass the view2 to a div in view 1.
I tried @html.Action("action","controller") . This called controller 2, but was not passing the view2 to view1.
Am I doing it wrong? How can I do that?

This example is something you can use. I did not put it into an ASP.NET Fiddle because we are dealing with TWO view.
Controller/ViewModel of First
namespace Testy20161006.Controllers
{
//I'm showing how to pass data from one Controller Action to another Controller Action.
//With the data you can render your second view however you like with the data.
//We pass data NOT views. You could use a partial view, but I am showing the most basic way.
public class NewbieDevViewModel
{
public String DataToPassToNewControllerAction { get; set; }
}
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//I am using Tut145 for my first Controller/Action/View, but you could have called it Index
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Tut145(NewbieDevViewModel passedData)
{
//passing simple string, so I can pass it using my QueryString
return RedirectToAction("MyAction2", "Home2", new { passedData = passedData.DataToPassToNewControllerAction });
}
public ActionResult Tut145()
{
return View();
}
View of First
@model Testy20161006.Controllers.NewbieDevViewModel
@{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Tut145 - View 1</title>
</head>
<body>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.LabelFor(r=>r.DataToPassToNewControllerAction)
@Html.TextBoxFor(r => r.DataToPassToNewControllerAction, new { @Value = "ValueOfData" })
<input type="submit" value="Submit data - to send to new Controller Action" />
}
</body>
</html>
Controller of Second
namespace Testy20161006.Controllers
{
public class Home2Controller : Controller
{
//I named my Controller Home2 and Action MyAction2, but you can name it anything you want
public ActionResult MyAction2(string passedData)
{
//reconstruct the ViewModel and pass into second view
NewbieDevViewModel viewModel = new NewbieDevViewModel { DataToPassToNewControllerAction = passedData };
return View(viewModel);
}
View of Second
@model Testy20161006.Controllers.NewbieDevViewModel
@{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>MyAction2 </title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
- Final View - I passed data into here from different Controller Action -and-
I can render this page anyway I which
</div>
<p/>
@Html.LabelFor(r => r.DataToPassToNewControllerAction)
@Html.TextBoxFor(r => r.DataToPassToNewControllerAction)
</body>
</html>

Partial view can be used to render a view inside another view. Create a partial view for an action in controller 2. Call that partial view from the view of controller 1. Here is the example :
First Controller :
public class Controller1Controller : Controller
{
public ActionResult Edit()
{
return View();
}
}
First Controller View :
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{ @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Controller 1 View</h4>
<hr />
<h1>Fisrt Controller</h1>
<div>
@{
Html.RenderAction("GetSubject", "Controller2");
}
</div>
</div>
}
Second Controller :
public class Controller2Controller : Controller
{
public ActionResult GetSubject()
{
Subject s = new Subject() { id = 2, SubjectName = "XYZ" };
return PartialView(s);
}
}
Second Controller View :
<div>
<h4>Controller 2 view</h4>
<hr />
<h1>Second Controller</h1>
</div>

After spending some time on the code and a bit of googling, I figured out my issue. The child action method I was calling from parent view was an async method, so I did something like the below,
Parent view
<div id="childView"></div>
Ajax Call to populate the parent view
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url : '@Url.Action(actionName: "ChildAction", controllerName: "ChildController")',
dataType: "html",
async:true,
success: function (result) { $("#childView").html(result); }
});
});
Hope it will be useful for some one.
