@Html.Sitecore().Rendering does not rendering view even after executing without any errors

Question

I am trying to use @Html.Sitecore().Rendering("--id--", Model.Property) to call render a staic view. It is not rendering on page.

Layout:

@Html.Sitecore().Rendering("--Myviewid--", Model)

Myview:

@model namespace.Model
@{
    var list = Model.GetMyList();
}
foreach(var item in list)
{
    ---my logic ---
}

It executes without any exception. No errors logged in the log files. I even added a debugger to view and went through each step to see if it is breaking anywhear. Code is executed without any exception. But, view is not rendered on the page.

I also tried @Html.Sitecore().Rendering("--MyviewId--", new {Model = myModel}). @Html.RenderPartical works perfectly but can anyone let me know why Sitecore().Rendering is not working even after executing without any errors

---

EDIT (copied from OP's comment):

In layout there is

@if(condtion){ Html.Sitecore.Rendering }

I confirm that condition is true and the view code is executed without error.

The reason why Html.Sitecore.Rendering(...) is not rendered to the html of your page is because razor works in that way.

If you start a code block ({ ... }), what's inside is expected to be code, not html markup.

What you can do is:

• Wrap what's inside if with any HTML tag, e.g.:

@if(condtion){ 
  <div>Html.Sitecore.Rendering(...)</div>
}

• Wrap it with Razor <text> tag, which will just render the text without the tag

@if(condtion){ 
  <text>Html.Sitecore.Rendering(...)</text>
}

• Add @:, which is equivalent with <text>:

@: @Html.Sitecore().Rendering("")
