    I have a PartialView that contains two linked Kendo ListBoxes and some other Textboxes and some hidden fields. I want to render the form inside of the Kendo Dialog. I can find examples of inserting these types of controls here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dialog/treeview-integration 

    But I am trying to using this partial form a bound MVC form to update the object model.

    How do I render a PartialView in a dialog?

    Hello Marion,
      
    In the method .LoadContentFrom you can specify where the dialog to request for it's content. The demo bellow reveals how use LoadContentFrom.

      
    Also the open event is fired once the dialog is opened. It is possible to request and load the partial view when the dialog is opened and push the result inside the dialog. The code snipped bellow illustrates the aforementioned approach.

    <script>
        $("#dialog").kendoWindow({
            open() {
                $.ajax({
                    url: "/Home/LoadDialog",
                    method: 'GET',
                    success: function (result) {
                        $('#dialog').html(result);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    </script>

    None of this works with the Kendo DIALOG.

    Kendo Dialog doesn't have a method LoadContentFrom.

    Are you implying that I must use a Kendo Window (not a Kendo Dialog) in order to make a PartialView the contents of a popup?

    Hello Marion,

    The second approach works for Kendo Dialog on my end. Here is the configuration I have done:

    Dialog Configuration:
    <div id="dialog"></div>
     
    <script>
        var data;
        $("#dialog").kendoDialog({
            open() {
                $.ajax({
                    url: "/home/loaddialog",
                    method: 'GET',
                    success: function (result) {
                        $('#dialog').html(result);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    </script>

    LoadDialog Action:

    public ActionResult LoadDialog()
           {
               return PartialView("DialogPartial");
           }


    Partial view:
    <input id="color" value="1" style="width: 100%;" />
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var data = [
                { text: "Black", value: "1" },
                { text: "Orange", value: "2" },
                { text: "Grey", value: "3" }
            ];
     
            $("#color").kendoDropDownList({
                dataTextField: "text",
                dataValueField: "value",
                dataSource: data,
                index: 0,
            });
     
        });
    </script>

    If this doesn't work for you please send me the project or isolated runnable sample where the issue occurs so I can debug it locally and help you more efficiently.

    Would this be the best (only) way to go about putting something simple in the content of the dialog box, like a combobox? Or is there someway of putting html helpers in the .Content() section of the dialog?

    Hello Catherine,

    It is possible to use html helpers within the content of the Dialog widget. Please take a look at the following demo which demonstrates how to initialize a Kendo TreeView within a Dailog:

    Thank you Georgi, I didn't realize that html helpers could be used in the string of html without the @ symbol. That will save me a lot of trouble in the future.
