LINQ: .Select infinite loop - linq

Question

I am getting what appears to be an infinite loop in either LINQ or somehow JQuery. It keeps calling the Controller Method over and over.
Here's my controller method:
public ActionResult Index()
{
// TODO: decide what properties determine a need for User Action (the 'where(s)')
var viewModel = new PriorityTasksViewModel
{
BayOptions = _bayOptionRepository.GetBayOptions()
.Where(x => x.IsActive && !x.SiteVisibilityFlagsOverride).ToList()
.Select(x => new PriorityTasksBayOptionsViewModel()
{
BayGuid = x.BayGUID,
BayNumber = x.BayNumber,
PropertyId = x.PropertyId
})
.ToList(),
Properties = _propertyRepository.GetProperties()
.Where(x => !x.SiteVisibilityFlagsOverride).ToList()
.Select(x => new PriorityTasksPropertiesViewModel()
{
PropertyId = x.PropertyId,
PropertyName = x.Name
})
.ToList()
};
return View("_PriorityTasks", viewModel);
}
If I put a breakpoint in the view, I verify it's looping. What am I missing in my LINQ? I put .ToList() in there to force loading but...
View:
<h6>Properties</h6>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
Name
</th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model.Properties) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.PropertyName)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
And the JQuery at the bottom of the _Layout:(it has to show on teh menu of layout)
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#PriorityTasks').load('#Url.Action("Index", "PriorityTask")');
})

Answer 1

Maybe you need return a partial view instead
return PartialView("_PriorityTasks", viewModel);

Answer 2

I think if you want keep a layout you could use a partial view.
Controller:
public ActionResult Images(int? page)
{
int pageNumber = page ?? 1;
page = page ?? 1;
var images = db.image.AsQueryable().OrderBy(x => x.name);
var onePageOfImages = images.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize);
ViewBag.onePageOfImages = onePageOfImages;
return (page == 0)
? PartialView()
: (ActionResult)PartialView("_ImageList");
}
Images.cshtml
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Image List";
}
#using PagedList;
#using PagedList.Mvc;
#Styles.Render("~/Content/PagedList.css")
<h2>Image List</h2>
#DateTime.Now.ToString()
<div id="unobtrusive">
#Html.Partial("_ImageList")
</div>
and _ImageList
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.name)
