As far as I know, the Html.RenderAction has been removed in asp.net core. ASP.NET Core uses a new feature called ViewComponents to achieve the same thing. Article. For more details about how to replace Renderaction with ViewComponents, you could refer to this answer.
If you still want to use Html.RenderAction in asp.net core.
I suggest you could implement it by yourself, you could create a class and add below codes into your project.

{
public static IHtmlContent RenderAction(this IHtmlHelper helper, string action, object parameters = null)
{
var controller = (string)helper.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"];
return RenderAction(helper, action, controller, parameters);
}
public static IHtmlContent RenderAction(this IHtmlHelper helper, string action, string controller, object parameters = null)
{
var area = (string)helper.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["area"];
return RenderAction(helper, action, controller, area, parameters);
}
public static IHtmlContent RenderAction(this IHtmlHelper helper, string action, string controller, string area, object parameters = null)
{
if (action == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(controller));
if (controller == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(action));
var task = RenderActionAsync(helper, action, controller, area, parameters);
return task.Result;
}
private static async Task<IHtmlContent> RenderActionAsync(this IHtmlHelper helper, string action, string controller, string area, object parameters = null)
{
// fetching required services for invocation
var currentHttpContext = helper.ViewContext.HttpContext;
var httpContextFactory = GetServiceOrFail<IHttpContextFactory>(currentHttpContext);
var actionInvokerFactory = GetServiceOrFail<IActionInvokerFactory>(currentHttpContext);
var actionSelector = GetServiceOrFail<IActionDescriptorCollectionProvider>(currentHttpContext);
// creating new action invocation context
var routeData = new RouteData();
var routeParams = new RouteValueDictionary(parameters ?? new { });
var routeValues = new RouteValueDictionary(new { area, controller, action });
var newHttpContext = httpContextFactory.Create(currentHttpContext.Features);
newHttpContext.Response.Body = new MemoryStream();
foreach (var router in helper.ViewContext.RouteData.Routers)
routeData.PushState(router, null, null);
routeData.PushState(null, routeValues, null);
routeData.PushState(null, routeParams, null);
var actionDescriptor = actionSelector.ActionDescriptors.Items.First(i => i.RouteValues["Controller"] == controller && i.RouteValues["Action"] == action);
var actionContext = new ActionContext(newHttpContext, routeData, actionDescriptor);
// invoke action and retrieve the response body
var invoker = actionInvokerFactory.CreateInvoker(actionContext);
string content = null;
await invoker.InvokeAsync().ContinueWith(task =>
{
if (task.IsFaulted)
{
content = task.Exception.Message;
}
else if (task.IsCompleted)
{
newHttpContext.Response.Body.Position = 0;
using (var reader = new StreamReader(newHttpContext.Response.Body))
content = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
});
return new HtmlString(content);
}
private static TService GetServiceOrFail<TService>(HttpContext httpContext)
{
if (httpContext == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(httpContext));
var service = httpContext.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(TService));
if (service == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException($"Could not locate service: {nameof(TService)}");
return (TService)service;
}
}
}
View:
@Html.RenderAction("AssetInfo", "Home", new { Id = 2 });
Home Controller:
public ActionResult AssetInfo(int? Id)
{
//var model = _context.Asset.Where(x => x.Id == Id).ToList();
var model = new List<Asset>() {
new Asset(){ AssetName="te", AssetType="te2" }
};
return PartialView("_AssetInfo", model);
}
Result:
