I am not sure if the title of my question is ok. I tried to google it but there is not any topic about it. I am using VS 2017 with MVC project, i have faced two ways to call view (html):

1st way-Using razor methods which is embedded on html views directly

@Html.ActionLink,@Url.Action, etc

2nd-Using Ajax from a JS file

$.ajax({
               url: "/Controller/Action",
               type: 'GET',
               cache: false,
               success: function (data) {
                   $('#Container').html(data);
               }
       });

I would like to know what the difference is

  • No, it is not the same. I am comparing those ones to Ajax call from js file Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 14:37
  • I suppose you want to compare Ajax.BeginForm and Jquery Json post ? If thats case ` Ajax.BeginForm` and Jquery ajax is same only difference is that Ajax.BeginForm will create data from ViewModel and in Jquery ajax you have to provide data by yourself. Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 14:40
  • Ajax.BeginForm, Html.actionlink (it creates a link <a>), URL.action (it creates a url string), these ways have something in common, they are embedded in html view and they usually reload the layout. On the other hand Ajax request seems more comfortable because you can customize it. Is it mandatory to use that Razor methods if i work with MVC asp.net project? Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 14:51
  • @Html.ActionLink() creates a <a> that makes a redirect. $.ajax() makes an ajax calls which stays on the same page (and in you case updates the DOM) Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 21:26
