passing parameters to my partial view?

Question

I am calling my partial view like this:

 <% Html.RenderPartial(\"~/controls/users.ascx\"); %>

Can I pass parameters to partial view?

Answer 1

// get main form data
ezpl8_UsersPhysicalIdentity ezIDobj = db.ezpl8_UsersPhysicalIdentity.Find(id)

// http://learnentityframework.com/LearnEntityFramework/tutorials/many-to-many-relationships-in-the-entity-data-model/
// get partial form data for just this user's pictures
            ViewData["Picts"] = (from user in db.ezpl8_Users
                         from ui in user.ezpl8_Images
                         join image in db.ezpl8_Images
                         on ui.ImageID equals image.ImageID
                         where user.ezpl8_UserID == id
                         select new Picts
                         {
                             FileName = image.FileName,
                             ImageID = image.ImageID
                         }
                             ).ToList();

    return View(ezIDobj);
}

// Here's the Partial View Controller --not much to it! public ViewResult Picts(int id) { return View(ViewData["Picts"]); }

[Authorize]  //you have to at least be logged on
public ActionResult DeletePicture(int id)
{
    //ToDo:  better security so a user can't delete another user's picture 
    //    TempData["ezpl8_UserID"]
    ezpl8_Images i = db.ezpl8_Images.Find(id);
    if (i != null)
    {
        var path = System.IO.Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Users"), i.FileName);
        System.IO.File.Delete(path: path);

        db.ezpl8_Images.Remove(i);
        db.SaveChanges();
    }
    return Redirect(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString());
}

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    db.Dispose();
    base.Dispose(disposing);
}

}
