mvc html.renderaction,asp.net mvc - ServiceStack Razor - Html.RenderAction equivalent - Stack Overfl...

*I may be duplicating my answer or I lost it somehow

Looking at the ServiceStack.Razor.ViewPage class there is an Html property of type ServiceStack.Html.HtmlHelper. I don't see 'RenderAction' as a method (or extension method) on this class so it doesn't appear to be available. There is a 'Partial' method that takes the ViewName and an overload that takes a ViewName and an object. Based on your above comment this doesn't appear to be a useful solution.

If I'm correct about the above, I think you'd need your 'Featured View Template' to pull in the data. Could add soemthing like

{ FeaturedResponse products = new JsonServiceClient("http://localhost").Get("/api/products/featured"); }

to your template. This would allow you to use the products variable like a Model.

Or, use JavaScript to pull the data into the template. You would have have to use JavaScript to get your data into the HTML elements, though.

You could then render the template using @Html.Partial('Featured')

Hope this helps.
