Calling partial views in Index method in page-type controller
Hi Pawan,
If this Navigation bar is on all pages, I recommend moving the Navigation bar code to its own action/controller. From there, you can call this action like this in the _Layout.cshtml file (or in any other View):
@Html.Action("GetNavigationBar", "MasterpageComponents", new { controllerType = string.Empty }) //GetNavigationBar == action name, MasterpageComponents == controller name
One thing to note - child actions can potentially hinder performance, so please be cautious in the number of child actions that are being used on each page type. Hope this helps!

Hi,
Another solution is to use a ViewModel that contains the navigation in a property as well as the CurrentPage.
Having Partial Views with their own controllers risks leading to bad performance.
