@Url.Content not parsing with html content to partial view

Question

User-1339639702 posted

Hi Sir,

I am running one MVC application where in footer i have some link. When user click on the link then i have some html content ready in html page. We are accessing those html in action method and passing to the partial view like below:

 public ActionResult ContactUs()
        {
            var readContact = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath(Url.Content("~/Content/healthec/contact_us.html")));
            return PartialView("~/Views/Shared/_FooterHtmlLinks.cshtml", readContact);
        }

and in _FooterHtmlLinks.cshtml parial view i used @Html.Raw(model) to load the html content.

But in this html i have some images which src value i used like @Url.Content but this is not getting translated by partial view and images is not displaying.

How could i pass correctly to make it work?

The standard MVC pattern is using a partial view to display reusable HTML.  It does not make sense to read an HTML file and pass the file as a string to the View. The standard pattern is passing a Model to a View or a Partial to generate dynamic HTML.

Rather than asking for a specific solution, explain the problem you are trying to solve at a high level.

Hi Mgebhard,

I have one question here like i have to reuse the partial view which load the content. How could i use it.

Or can we load dynamic html to partial view which have @Url.Content present.

E.g: If suppose i have some html content in database and from there i have to load it to partial view how do i do it?

Please suggest.

This is a standard MVC pattern.  Execute a query that fetches the the data from a table.  Populate a ViewModel from the query result set.  Pass the ViewModel to the View.  Design the View to display the View Model.

Use @Html.Raw() in the View to render HTML without encoding the HTML.  You must trust the HTML is not malicious.  Generally, this is not a good design approach.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.mvc.htmlhelper.raw?view=aspnet-mvc-5.2

Keep in mind that you have not posted enough code to find any bugs in the design.  I'm assuming the HTML does not contain Razor syntax.

Hi All,

I found the solution for myself only as i was trying to render html page in razor view using @Html.Raw where i had issue with @Url.Content which was not getting rendered as html.

To fix this issue in View i used Viewbag having some value to identify if this text present then inside that i am loading that content where already i have @Url.Content used.

and this viewbag value i set in action method where this partial view is getting called.

So let's say i have three type of html content then for load i have three action method there i set viewbag value and check the same in partial view once loaded, Once it will match whichever will load those content only.

Thank you for everyone support on it.
