Hi All,
I am developing MVC4 application with Searching, Paging and Sorting facilities using Ajax & Partial View. I had views for CRUD operations opening separately when ActionLink clicks. Everything working fine. Now I want to open them as modal pop up. Whenever user clicks on ActionLink, modal pop up will appear with respective view. User can able to perform operation same as normal view and after completing, modal pop up will disappear refreshing partial view with updated data.

For Create, Edit & Details, I used @Html.ActionLink and for delete, I used @Ajax.ActionLink helpers. I am using strongly typed views.

What is most efficient way to achieve this without making so much changes in existing application.

My BundleConfig.cs

C#

public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
        {
            // COMMENTED FOR datepicker ISSSUE. ON Sep 14. 
            //bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
            //            "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));

            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryui").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-{version}.js"));

            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive*",
                        "~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"));
            
            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/modernizr").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/modernizr-*"));

            bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include("~/Content/site.css"));

            bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/base/css").Include(
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.resizable.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.selectable.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.accordion.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.autocomplete.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.button.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.dialog.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.slider.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.tabs.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.progressbar.css",
                        "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.theme.css"));
        }

My _Layout.cshtml:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

So the way I choose to do it is via jquery utilizing bootstrap. In my view I'll have a link/button and a click event tied to it. Also, in this click event is an ajax call to load the partial and populate it into the body of the modal window.

HTML

@*Lets call this index.cshtml and references a partial called MyModalWindow*@
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){ 
    //use .on instead of .click, i'm lazy
    $("#btn-show-modal").click(function(){ 
        $.ajax({
	    cache: false,
            url: '/Controller/ActionToLoadPartial',
	    contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8',
            type: 'GET',
            dataType: 'html',
            data: { param: yourParamToKnowWhatToLoad }
        }).success(function (data) {
	    $("#modal-window .modal-body").html(data);
            $("#modal-window").modal("show");
        }).error(function () {
	    // Do something with the error
        });
    });
});
</script>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="btn-show-modal">Open</a>

  @Html.Partial("MyModalWindow")

Then I'll have a partial containing the modal window itself

HTML

@*This would be MyModalWindow.cshtml *@
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#modal-window").on("click", "#btn-close", function () {
            $("#modal-window").modal("hide");
        });
    });
</script>

<div id="modal-window" style="display:none;" title="Your Title HEre" class="modal fade">
    <div class="modal-dialog" style="width: 50%;">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
                <h4 class="modal-title">Title</h4>
            </div>            
			<div class="modal-body">

			</div>
			<div class="modal-footer">
				<button type="button" id="btn-close" class="btn btn-default">Close</button>
			</div>
        </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
    </div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div>

Then in your controller you'll have an action to load the partial (see the first block of code using .ajax. In this example, I have a partial view called _ModalWindowEditTemplate

C#

public ActionResult ActionToLoadPartial(string id, string mode)
{
	try
	{
			// Do something to load any model data
	}
	catch (Exception ex)
	{
		
	}

	return PartialView("_ModalWindowEditTemplate");
}

This is the way I've chosen to do it as I maintain a lot of control over what happens/how things happen. There are many ways to achieve what you are trying to do so if this doesn't work, keep looking on google because this is an extremely common functionality that isn't very unique.
