title: asp.net MVC partial view controller action
body: <p>I'm very new to web app development and I thought I would start with recent technology and so I'm trying to learn asp.net as-well as the MVC framework at once. This is probably a very simple question for you, MVC professionals.</p>
  
  <p>My question is should a partial view have an associated action, and if so, does this action get invoked whenever a normal page uses <code>RenderPartial()</code> on the partial view?</p>
