The difference between views and partial views, and the difference is more about their usage, rather than technical.
View is used as full page of our application, it needs a layout, <html> and <title>. Partial views are like reusable view which can be used in other views. Partials doesnot represent whole page, they are inserted in other views.
For implementing the partial view,while return View("SampleView"); renders a view page, So returning that same view by writing return PartialView("SampleView"); renders contents, but doesn't render the contents of layout page.
Partial View Features:
1. Light weighted and fits into any view
2. It can be used as a reusable component.
3. Partial view's are rendered inside another View.
