ASP.NET MVC - Can a Partial View have a controller?

When I'm in a View an开发者_JAVA技巧d I call @Html.RenderPartial("MyPartialView", MyObject) Can I set it up so that this partial view has a controller which is called when RenderPartial gets called?

Probably it will be better to use the RenderAction instead of the RenderPartial

You should gather all data necessary for the partial in the current controller action (which may use methods shared across other controllers and actions).

If you really want a partial to be rendered using its own controller/action then consider loading it via AJAX with a separate request.

In MVC, although controllers know about views, the reverse is not true.

Views are just means to render some data (a model or a viewModel) but they are not related to a controller or an action.
