Searching paths for ViewComponent in ASP.NET

Question

In general if we use View("Index"). It will search for views in Views/ControllerName or Views/Shared folder. Likewise if we use Component.InvokeAsync("SomeData") then what are the paths it will search for that viewcomponent

Answer 1

Since it is a component, runtimes will search into components folder as stated below:

• /Views/{Controller Name}/Components/{View Component Name}/{View Name}
• /Views/Shared/Components/{View Component Name}/{View Name}
• /Pages/Shared/Components/{View Component Name}/{View Name}
