Passing a string into a partial view in MVC4

Question

I'd like to be able to pass a string into my partial view from the calling View - this string will be different depending on the view from which the partial view is rendered. Something like this:

@{ Html.RenderPartial("PartialViews/_BreadcrumbsPartial", "New Item");}

Or

@{ Html.RenderPartial("PartialViews/_BreadcrumbsPartial", Model.Name);}

How can I access this second parameter from within the partial view, since I haven't labeled that parameter? I'd like to avoid passing the whole model in if possible, and just reference that string directly.

Answer 1

Your Partial Must bind to a string

example, at top place this:

@model string

To access the value in your partial, use @Model in place of string param
