partial view modal popup

Here, have a look: load partial view in to a modal popup[^]

Sample, Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult Modal()
    {
        return PartialView();
    }
}

then a Modal.cshtml partial that will contain the partial markup that you want to display in the modal:

<div>This is the partial view</div>

and an Index.cshtml view containing the button which will show the partial into a modal when clicked:

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('.modal').click(function () {
            $('<div />').appendTo('body').dialog({
                close: function (event, ui) {
                    dialog.remove();
                },
                modal: true
            }).load(this.href, {});

            return false;            
        });
    });
</script>

@Html.ActionLink("show modal", "modal", null, new { @class = "modal" })

Try!
