Sitecore Renderings

Sitecore renderings are the way developers can render a page or a part of a page in Sitecore.  
Sitecore has many different types of renderings but when we work with MVC, the two main renderings. 

• view renderings 
• controller renderings

In View Rendering,
View rendering can be used for components that have no logic in it. Simply view rendering is like calling a partial view in MVC, basically, it doesn't have a controller.  View rendering works with a .cshtml view file and registering it with Sitecore. 

Go to Layouts->Renderings section, right click on Renderings and select Insert->View Rendering. Give some name as "MyviewRendering" and with below mentioned field values:

1. Path : Path to the razor view file i.e., “/Views/MyviewRendering.cshtml“.
2. Model : Click on insert link and select the sitecore Model we have created ‘MySitecoreModel’.
3. PlaceHolder : This is the placeholder in the Layout file where this view rendering should be rendered.
4. Template : this is the template where this view use the fields for using to create any item.

In Controller rendering, 
Controller rendering, has a controller and subsequently needs a little bit more configuration and code. controller rendering specifies a controller name and an action name 

 Create Controller name with MyController.cs
 Create View for that controller with named MyView.cshtml

Go to Layouts->Renderings, right click on Renderings, click on Insert->Controller Rendering.  Give some name as "MycontrollerRendering" and with below mentioned field values:

1. Controller: My, Controller Action: Action(Method) Name
   
2. Save and publish the item.

How to use rendering in any page(Item) :

1.  Select any item in home node.
2.  Go to Presentation->Detail 

 Layout Detail Popup will Appear. You Can Add/Edit your rendering here with placeholder.
