How to open window in the same View in MVC 4?

Question

I have a Telerik MVC grid in my view with a \"Download\" custom button. This button redirects to my Download action and this download action redirects me to the download vie

so you want to put an ajax call in your script tag. Make sure you have jquery referenced on the page. you call should look something like this

$('#TableID tr').on('click', function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "@(Url.Action("Action", "Controller"))",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
            id: $(this).attr('id')// from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5142422/get-id-of-selected-row-in-a-table-html
        }
        cache: false,
        async: true,
        success: function (result) {
            $(".Content").html(result);
            contentOverlay.load();
        }
    });
});

then on your controller

public PartialViewResult Action(string id){
    Model model = //query the database
    return PartialView("_PartialView", model);
}

so when a row is clicked the method on your controller is called and a partial view is returned. Put that result into a div on your view and then pop up that div (we use jquery overlay but there are several different options). Hope this helps
