I am currently working with the nopCommerce source code and trying my best to avoid editing the source at all, but instead using partial classes and plugins that are separat
You can use partial class to split the code of a class in multiple, but you can not split a single method in 2 partial classes. You need to have method in only one place. If you want to extent the functionality then look for another methods like sub-classing or composition etc. which ever suits your scenario.
