RenderAction or RenderPartial dynamically


I have this view that has the following code:

    @model  ComPost.Core.CommandsAndQueries.Contract.DataContract.DepositDetailDTO

@section scripts
{
    <script src="~/Scripts/DataTables-1.9.4/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.datatables.bootstrap-pagination.js"></script>
    <script src="~/js/DepositDetail.js"></script>
}

    @Html.RenderAction(new { Action = "DepositDetailOverview", Controller = "Deposit" }, new { id = @Model.Id })

My controller has the following code :

        public ActionResult DepositDetail(int id, int tabIndex = -1)
    {
        ViewBag.DepositId = id;
        ViewBag.ActionMethodForPartialView = this.GetControllerActionForTabIndex(tabIndex);
        DepositDetailDTO depositDetailDTO = this.QueriesServiceAgent.Call(s => s.GetDepositDetailForId(id));
        return View(depositDetailDTO);
    }

    public PartialViewResult DepositDetailOverview(int id)
    {
        ViewBag.DepositId = id;
        DepositOverviewScreenDTO depositOverviewScreenDTO = this.QueriesServiceAgent.Call(s => s.GetDepositOverviewForId(id));
        return PartialView(depositOverviewScreenDTO);
    }

    private string GetControllerActionForTabIndex(int tabIndex)
    {
        if (tabIndex <= 0)
        {
            return "DepositDetailOverview";
        }
        else if (tabIndex == 1)
        {
            return "DepositMailingLists";
        }
        return "DepositFinalize";
    }

When we go to the DepositDetail-screen, we call the "DepositDetail"-method on the controller. This calls the helper-method which returns the name of the action to be called to get the partialview.

I can't seem to get it working. What am I missing?


Solution

  • OK, a colleague of mine found the solution.

    The solution was in the js-file. This should look as follows :

        $(document).ready(function () {
    
        // Upon every page refresh, the tab with the current tab index is highlighted
        var currentTabIndex = $('#MainTabs').data("tabindex");
        $('#MainTabs li:eq('+ currentTabIndex +') a').tab('show');
    
        if (currentTabIndex == 1) {
            loadMailingListsForDepositTable();
        }
        if (currentTabIndex == 2) {
            LoadFinalizeInformation();
        }
    
        // wire up the tab clicked event, which requests a full page reload on the new tab index
        $('#MainTabs').click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var nextTabIndex = $('#MainTabs li a:active').data('index');
            var depositId = $("#MainTabs").data("depositid");
            var dataSourceUrl = $("#MainTabs").data("datasourceurl").replace("-1", depositId).replace("-2", nextTabIndex);
            document.location.href = dataSourceUrl;
        });
    
    });
    
    var LoadFinalizeInformation = function () {
        document.getElementById('OverrideCheckox').onchange = function () {
            document.getElementById('OverrideReason').disabled = !this.checked;
            document.getElementById('DepositProductSelect').disabled = !this.checked;
        };
    }
    
    var loadMailingListsForDepositTable = function () {
        // do other stuff here.
    }
    

    And for the partialviews we don't have a separate js-file.
