Explain what is the difference between View and Partial View?

View

• It contains the layout page.
• Before any view is rendered, viewstart page is rendered.
• A view might have markup tags like body, HTML, head, title, meta etc.
• The view is not lightweight as compare to Partial View.

Partial View

• It does not contain the layout page.
• Partial view does not verify for a viewstart.cshtml.We cannot put common code for a partial view within the viewStart.cshtml.page.
• Partial view is designed specially to render within the view and just because of that it does not consist any mark up.
• We can pass a regular view to the RenderPartial method.
