Retrieve partial view data - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have menu and using this I'm rendering partial view in my index page
#Ajax.ActionLink("week I", "firstWeekWinners", new
{
}, new AjaxOptions()
{
HttpMethod = "GET",
UpdateTargetId = "weeWinnersDIv",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
}, new { #class = "weekDays wactive" })
and there's partial view controller:
public PartialViewResult firstWeekWinners()
{
ViewBag.laptopWinners = db.firstWeekLaptopWinner().ToList();
ViewBag.tabWinners = db.firstWeekGalaxyWinner().ToList();
ViewBag.ipodWinners = db.firstWeekIpodWinner().ToList();
ViewBag.headPhonesWinners = db.firstWeekHeadPhonesWinner().ToList();
ViewBag.kingstonWinners = db.firstWeekkingstonUsbWinner().ToList();
return PartialView();
}
and partial view:
#if (ViewBag.laptopWinners != null)
{
<div class="winnersPrizeOverflow">
<div class="winnersPrizePic"></div>
<div class="winnersAllprizeLeft"><p>12</p></div>
</div>
foreach (var q in ViewBag.laptopWinners)
{
<span>#q.firstName</span>
<br />
<span>#q.lastName</span>
<br />
<span>#q.fbId</span>
<br />
<span>#q.sumOfBids</span>
<br />
}
}
If I'll click to this ajax.actionlink it renders this view but without this if I'll put #Html.Partial("firstWeekWinners") it doesn't goes in controller to retrieve my data.
How can I improve that?

Answer 1

To call your firstWeekWinners method use #Html.Action(), not #Html.Partial()
#Html.Action("firstWeekWinners")
Refer to the documentation for the various overloads, and these question/answers explaining the differences and usage.
