Show partial view from different folder

Question

Is that possible to access partial view which is placed in external folder?

---

I want to show a _LoginPartial on a page /Home/Index, but _LoginPartial should be in /Auth.

When I am trying to specify /Home/Index to take this partial from /Auth, I've getting an error.

@Html.Partial("/Auth/Login")

ErrorLog says that

Message=The partial view 'Views/Auth/Login' was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:

~/Views/Home/Auth/Login.aspx

~/Views/Home/Auth/Login.ascx

~/Views/Shared/Auth/Login.aspx

~/Views/Shared/Auth/Login.ascx

~/Views/Home/Auth/Login.cshtml

~/Views/Home/Auth/Login.vbhtml

~/Views/Shared/Auth/Login.cshtml

~/Views/Shared/Auth/Login.vbhtml

So I know that it is trying to find my partial only inside /Home directory.

Use the full path to your partial view.

@Html.Partial("~/Views/Auth/Login.cshtml")
