I\'m trying to get a partial view to render using Razor in MVC5. When I use

I get the parser erro

You haven't posted the context of that code, but that error only really happens when you're using @ directly within a code block without any HTML wrappings. For example:

@if (true) {
    @{ Html.RenderPartial(...); }
}

Would give you the error, while:

@if (true) {
    

        @{ Html.RenderPartial(...); }
    
}

Would be fine. You could also solve it by just removing the code block for Html.RenderPartial entirely, including the @:

@if (true) {
    Html.RenderPartial(...);
}
