Partial View not showing data - view

Question

I have a partial view which does not show the data. Here is a simple version. Here are my Models. The parent and child records
namespace Partial.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public partial class Parent
{
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage ("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2214:DoNotCallOverridableMethodsInConstructors")]
public Parent()
{
this.Children = new HashSet<Child>();
}
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2227:CollectionPropertiesShouldBeReadOnly")]
public virtual ICollection<Child> Children { get; set; }
}
}
namespace Partial.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public partial class Child
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> ParentID { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public virtual Parent Parent { get; set; }
}
}
Here are my controllers which only involve the index and edit forms.
namespace Partial.Controllers
{
public class ParentsController : Controller
{
private PartialEntities db = new PartialEntities();
// GET: Parents
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(db.Parents.ToList());
}
namespace Partial.Controllers
{
public class ChildrenController : Controller
{
private PartialEntities db = new PartialEntities();
// GET: Children
public ActionResult Index()
{
var children = db.Children.Include(c => c.Parent);
return View(children.ToList());
}
Here is my view. Parent Form which is the edit form. Which should display the children index form
#model Partial.Models.Parent
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
}
<h2>Edit</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Parent</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ID)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Description, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<table class="table">
<tr>
<td>
Html.Partial("~/Views/Children/Index.cshtml", new List<Partial.Models.Child> ());
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
Child Form which should display the children but doesn't
#model IEnumerable<Partial.Models.Child>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Description)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Parent.Description)
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Parent.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.ID })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>

Please Try Code
Remove the code
Html.Partial("~/Views/Children/Index.cshtml", new List<Partial.Models.Child> ());
replace Code
#{Html.RenderAction("Index","Children");}
Sysntext For :
#Html.RenderAction("Action name","Controller name",Route values)
