SO need to dynamically set Partial view Controller name Man and Woman

 @using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "", FormMethod.Get)){}

Use `Html.Action` to render the partial view and pass the controller name through ViewBag and set it in the `view`. Need more information on when you are calling this partial page, and then we can let you know exact solution.. — Guruprasad J Rao, May 13 '16 at 04:41

You can pass a model to the partial controller:

@Html.Partial("~/Views/Shared/_SearchProduct.cshtml", Model)

In _SearchProduct.cshtml, Model will be of type WomanProduct or ManProduct, depending on the view that called Partial. Then, choose controller depending on the model type:

@{
    var ctrl = Model is WomanProduct ? "Woman" : "Man";
}
@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", ctrl, FormMethod.Get))

Well, I would suggest you to use @Html.Action to render your partialview. Consider below example.

@Html.Action("GetSearchPartial", "Controller", new {controller = "Women"}) 
//in the Women Edit View

@Html.Action("GetSearchPartial", "Controller", new {controller = "Man"}) 
//in the Man Edit View

Now write an action which returns ParialViewResult.

public PartialViewResult GetSearchPartial(string controller)
{
    ViewBag.Controller=controller;
    return PartialView("_SearchProduct");
}

in your _SearchProduct - PartialView get the ViewBag data and assign it as controller.

@{
     string controller=ViewBag.Controller;
}
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        @using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", controller, FormMethod.Get))
        {
            <p>
                Find by Product Id : @Html.TextBox("SearchString", ViewBag.CurrentFilter as string)
                <input type="submit" value="Search" />
            </p>
        }
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">


        <span style="color:green">@ViewBag.ProductName </span>
    </div>
    <span style="color:red"> @ViewBag.FindResult </span>
</div>

Let know if you face any issues

Try this way

@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", @HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString(), FormMethod.Get)){}

instead of the actual location of the partial view. so dynamically set Man or Woman controller name
