ASP.NET MVC - How to show partial views with arraylist data

Question

Hi,

I want to display three different partial views on a aspx webpage based on the buttons selected. That part is working fine.
But then each of the partial views would read separate sections from the xml file and would provide data the view as well.

I have tried to pass the data as Arraylist to the view but the partial view does not show up now. Without passing the data, the partial views were working.

Please note I am using aspx instead of razor.

Any ideas as to how to make this work so that upon clicking any of the 3 buttons, a different partial view is displayed with the xml data as well.

Thanks in advance.

$(function() {

$('#InfoButton').on("click", function() {

$.get('<%= Url.Action("InfoAction", "HardwareRequisition")%>', function (data) {

$( "#myContentView" ).html( data );

});

$('#NotesButton').on("click", function() {

$.get('<%= Url.Action("NotesAction", "HardwareRequisition")%>', function (data) {

$( "#myContentView" ).html( data );

});

$('#OrdersButton').on("click", function() {

$.get('<%= Url.Action("OrdersAction", "HardwareRequisition")%>', function (data) {

$( "#myContentView" ).html( data );

});

});

});

});

});
