I have this section defined in my _Layout.cshtml
@RenderSection(\"Scripts\", false)
I can easily use it from a view:
You can't need using sections in partial view.
Include in your Partial View. It execute the function after jQuery loaded. You can alter de condition clause for your code.
<script type="text/javascript">
var time = setInterval(function () {
if (window.jQuery != undefined) {
window.clearInterval(time);
//Begin
$(document).ready(function () {
//....
});
//End
};
}, 10); </script>

Pluto's idea in a nicer way:
CustomWebViewPage.cs:
public abstract class CustomWebViewPage<TModel> : WebViewPage<TModel> {
public IHtmlString PartialWithScripts(string partialViewName, object model) {
return Html.Partial(partialViewName: partialViewName, model: model, viewData: new ViewDataDictionary { ["view"] = this, ["html"] = Html });
}
public void RenderScriptsInBasePage(HelperResult scripts) {
var parentView = ViewBag.view as WebPageBase;
var parentHtml = ViewBag.html as HtmlHelper;
parentView.DefineSection("scripts", () => {
parentHtml.ViewContext.Writer.Write(scripts.ToHtmlString());
});
}
}
Views\web.config:
<pages pageBaseType="Web.Helpers.CustomWebViewPage">
View:
@PartialWithScripts("_BackendSearchForm")
Partial (_BackendSearchForm.cshtml):
@{ RenderScriptsInBasePage(scripts()); }
@helper scripts() {
<script>
//code will be rendered in a "scripts" section of the Layout page
</script>
}
Layout page:
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
I have just added this code on my partial view and solved the problem, though not very clean, it works. You have to make sure the the Ids of the objects you are rendering.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Profile_ProfileID").selectmenu({ icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' } });
$("#TitleID_FK").selectmenu({ icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' } });
$("#CityID_FK").selectmenu({ icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' } });
$("#GenderID_FK").selectmenu({ icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' } });
$("#PackageID_FK").selectmenu({ icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' } });
});
</script>
From the solutions in this thread, I came up with the following probably overcomplicated solution that lets you delay rendering any html (scripts too) within a using block.
Typical scenario: In a partial view, only include the block one time no matter how many times the partial view is repeated in the page:
@using (Html.Delayed(isOnlyOne: "some unique name for this section")) {
<script>
someInlineScript();
</script>
}
In a partial view, include the block for every time the partial is used:
@using (Html.Delayed()) {
<b>show me multiple times, @Model.Whatever</b>
}
In a partial view, only include the block once no matter how many times the partial is repeated, but later render it specifically by name when-i-call-you
:
@using (Html.Delayed("when-i-call-you", isOnlyOne: "different unique name")) {
<b>show me once by name</b>
<span>@Model.First().Value</span>
}
(i.e. display the delayed section in a parent view)
@Html.RenderDelayed(); // writes unnamed sections (#1 and #2, excluding #3)
@Html.RenderDelayed("when-i-call-you", false); // writes the specified block, and ignore the `isOnlyOne` setting so we can dump it again
@Html.RenderDelayed("when-i-call-you"); // render the specified block by name
@Html.RenderDelayed("when-i-call-you"); // since it was "popped" in the last call, won't render anything due to `isOnlyOne` provided in `Html.Delayed`

Following the unobtrusive principle, it's not quite required for "_myPartial" to inject content directly into scripts section. You could add those partial view scripts into separate .js
file and reference them into @scripts section from parent view.
assume you have a partial view called _contact.cshtml, your contact can be a legal (name) or a physical subject (first name, lastname). your view should take care about what's rendered and that can be achived with javascript. so delayed rendering and JS inside view may be needed.
the only way i think, how it can be ommitted, is when we create an unobtrusive way of handling such UI concerns.
also note that MVC 6 will have a so called View Component, even MVC futures had some similar stuff and Telerik also supports such a thing...
