The main concept of partial view is returning the HTML code rather than going to the partial view it self.

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Calendar(int year)
{
    var dates = new List<DateTime>() { /* values based on year */ };
    HolidayViewModel model = new HolidayViewModel {
        Dates = dates
    };
    return PartialView("HolidayPartialView", model);
}

this action return the HTML code of the partial view ("HolidayPartialView").

To refresh partial view replace the existing item with the new filtered item using the jQuery below.

$.ajax({
                url: "/Holiday/Calendar",
                type: "GET",
                data: { year: ((val * 1) + 1) }
            })
            .done(function(partialViewResult) {
                $("#refTable").html(partialViewResult);
            });

You can also use Url Action for the path instead like so        ajax           url    Url Action  Holiday    Calendar   new   area       year   val   1    1                              type   GET                      success  function  partialViewResult                                refTable   html partialViewResult

You ll need AJAX if you want to update a part of your page without reloading the entire page   main cshtml view   lt div id  refTable  gt        lt  -- partial view content will be inserted here -- gt   lt  div gt    Html TextBox  yearSelect3   Convert ToDateTime tempItem3 Holiday date  Year ToString      lt button id  pY  gt PrevY lt  button gt    lt script gt        document  ready function                 pY   on  click   function                 var val       yearSelect3   val                  ajax                   url    Holiday Calendar                   type   GET                   data    year    val   1    1                                done function partialViewResult                        refTable   html partialViewResult                                        lt  script gt    You ll need to add the fields I have omitted  I ve used a  lt button gt  instead of submit buttons because you don t have a form  I don t see one in your markup  and you just need them to trigger javascript on the client side   The HolidayPartialView gets rendered into html and the jquery done callback inserts that html fragment into the refTable div   HolidayController Update action   HttpGet  public ActionResult Calendar int year        var dates   new List lt DateTime gt         values based on year           HolidayViewModel model   new HolidayViewModel           Dates   dates            return PartialView  HolidayPartialView   model       This controller action takes the year parameter and returns a list of dates using a strongly-typed view model instead of the ViewBag   view model  public class HolidayViewModel       IEnumerable lt DateTime gt  Dates   get  set        HolidayPartialView csthml   model Your Namespace HolidayViewModel    lt table class  tblHoliday  gt       foreach var date in Model Dates                 lt tr gt  lt td gt  date ToString  MM dd yyyy   lt  td gt  lt  tr gt         lt  table gt    This is the stuff that gets inserted into your div
