MVC Multi Level Menu from database

May 11 2016 11:11 AM

I have a demo project in which i have rendered a menu dynamically from database using Entity Model I have Add a Model into my Models Folder and in this model i have my menu table (id,parentId,title)

then i have made a menu controller like that

private TestEntities testEntities = new TestEntities();

public ActionResult Index()

{

ViewBag.MenuLevel1 = this.testEntities.Menus.Where(menu=>menu.ParentId==null ).ToList();

return View();

}

and in my View--->Menu--->index i have that code

@Model Menu.ModelTest

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Index</title>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<ul>

@foreach (var menuLevel1 in ViewBag.MenuLevel1)

{

<li>@menuLevel1.Name

@if (menuLevel1.Child.Count > 0)

{

<ul>

@foreach (var menuLevel2 in menuLevel1.Child)

{

<li>

@menuLevel2.Name

</li>

}

</ul>

}

</li>

}

</ul>

</div>

</body>

</html>

its working fine and did the good job , Now i want to create a Partial View of that because i want this menu to be called or placed any where any time how to do that .

Basically i am newby in MVC i want the layout file just like a master page in asp.net and i want the menu to be dynamic in this layout file. any help please
