ASP.Net MVC Caching & Javascript Initialization - asp.net-mvc

For best performance, it is best practice to place Javascript code at the bottom of a page. Now I have a Partial View in MVC which I am loading using the Html.Action method. I am also using the OutputCaching attribute in order to cache the controller action response and hence speed up server response. This is my issue:
Within such a partial view, I have some Javascript which initialises a javascript carousel. The ID of the carousel element is generated on the fly within the same Partial View itself. In order to gain the best performance, the javascript code is 'registered' within the ViewContext and then rendered at the end of the page.
Now since I have OutputCaching enabled, the registration of such javascript code with the ViewContext is done only once when the item is not cached cause else, no logic is executed.
A workaround to this solution is not to include the javascript code at the end of the page but as part of the PartialView itself and hence it is cached with the entire content of the Partial View.
Is there anything you can suggest to cache the Partial View and register the Javascript code at the end of the page?

How to load dynamically user control/ partial view dynamically in asp.net mvc

i am new in mvc...now learning but for a long time i am attach with asp.net web form technology. many way we can load user control in webform.
1) suppose when user click any button then a postback occur and a server side method call. from that server side method we can instantiate user control or load user control and add it to page from code behind.
2) another way we can load user control dynamically by jquery. we can call server side function by jquery. and from that function we can load user control and get the user control html and send that html of the usercontrol to jquery function as return result.
so i believe the same thing can be done in mvc too. so discuss all the possible way to load partial view dynamically at client side from action method and also jquery.
how to get the html of partial view here from action method ? please discuss point wise and with sample code.....because i want to learn all good tricks.
Depending on your requirements there are a few scenarios available to you:
1) Utilize a combination of Javascript and jQuery to do an ajax call, get a JSON result, and then reneder the control from a call to a partial method and $("#element").html({jsondata}).
2) Utilize the AJAXForm object to present a form that will be replaced on submission with your desired user control (called from a partial).
3) Pre-render the partial but have it hidden and on successful submission display the hidden control, or update and show depending on your needs.

How to Load Content into an ASP.NET MVC Partial View in a Layout View

'm using ASP.NET MVC 3 with Razor views. I have a partial view which I would like to render on all pages so I am placing it in the site's main Layout page. However, I am not sure the best way to load data into the partial view. I could load it for each ActionMethod but there is there a way to do this globally across the entire app?
Move all the data loading logic for your partial into a separate action method.
Then in your layout page, instead of rendering the partial with a call to RenderPartial(), call the RenderAction() method.
RenderAction() makes a "child" action call - thus putting all the logic needed for that partial into one place.
Write action for this partial view in MasterController because every controller inherits from it, and place your partial view in shared folder and call it on Site's master page (like every site has a user control which gives login box until user is logged in else it displays logged in user info) ... hope it answer your ques ...

Call js from MVC Controller

I have a web site written using ASP.NET MVC3.
The site has one single web page and what I want to do is to have the controller handle the request, do some parsing and processing and thereafter trigger a certain javascript method in the single webpage based on part of the data from the request.
How would I do this in the MVC controller?
You can't directly trigger actions in the View from the controller.
However, what you can do is return an ActionResult from the Controller Action to the View that instructs the View to execute your Javascript.
This could be a PartialView that includes the Javascript (in which case, you'll need a placeholder in your view for the PartialView to be rendered 'into') or something like a JSONResult that contains a property instructing the logic within the View what to do.
Either way, the call to the Controller Action is going to be triggered by client-side Javascript and your desired logic executed when the Controller Action finishes executing.
You'll probably find it easier to use jQuery.

How can I validate partial view that is returned from controller

I have a view page with ajax.action link which returns a partial view from controller and render it to divid as updated target id. But I could not perform client side validation on that partial view.
Can I have solution for it?
When you load a partial view's html with ajax it is normal for the JavaScript code not to be executed. Especially if you have calls to functions attached to onload event since this event is fired long before the ajax call is executed. Check out this article http://adammcraventech.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/asp-net-mvc2-ajax-executing-dynamically-loaded-javascript/ it describes all sorts of problems that you can have with this approach. If you want a more specific answer it will be good to proivide more info on your setup like - what version of .net/asp.net mvc you are using and what validation framework are you trying to use.

JavaScript/jQuery insert ASP.NET MVC ViewUserControl into form

I have existing ASP.NET MVC View pages and View user controls which I currently use in normal straightforward ASP.NET MVC fashion, sometimes I use RenderPartialView or RenderAction, etc.
By themselves they include tag. I would like to dynamically load either Views or ViewUserControl based on the selection in a dropdown list.
I'm having trouble deciding should I remove from Views and controls and put it just into the one View that will do dynamic rendering or to leave it there and leave outside of the .
What do you think and how would you go about it?
I would probably try to load the contents of a div after doing an AJAX call to get the contents. See the AJAX get call in the jQuery docs.
Or are the possibilities of what control to load so small you could just hide/show div's that are already in the page?
You can use JQuery to get the HTML from your Partial views and substitute it in the div. It could be something like this:
$.get('/Controller/Action',function(data){
$('div').innerHtml(data);
});
I did it this way and it works. /Controller/Action can be a partial view which returns HTML.
