Update Partial view MVC4 - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I have this controller:
public ActionResult PopulateTreeViewModel()
{
MainModelPopulate mainModelPopulate = new MainModelPopulate();
// populate model
return View(mainModelPopulate);
}
That has a view like this:
#model xxx.xxx.MainModelPopulate
<table>
#foreach (var item2 in Model.CountryList)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item2.CountryName);
</td>
</tr>
foreach (var item3 in item2.BrandList)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item3.BrandName);
</td>
</tr>
foreach (var item4 in item3.ProductList)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink(item4.ProductName, "FunctionX", new { idLab = item3.BrandID, idDep = item4.ProductID });
</td>
</tr>
}
}
}
</table>
The FunctionX controller is like this :
public ActionResult FunctionX(int idBrand=1 , int idProd=1)
{
List<ListTypeModel> typeModelList = new List<ListTypeModel>();
// populate typeModelList
return PartialView(typeModelList);
}
}
with this partial view:
#model IEnumerable<TControl.Models.ListTypeModel>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Name)
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
I want to add this partial view in my main view (PopulateTreeViewModel) and update the table with the relative type of product contained in Function X.
I tried also to substitute #Html.ActionLink with #Ajax.ActionLink and it performs the same way.

Have you tried #Html.RenderAction(item4.ProductName, "FunctionX", new { idLab = item3.BrandID, idDep = item4.ProductID });
There are other options too..! Pls refer http://www.dotnet-tricks.com/Tutorial/mvc/Q8V2130113-RenderPartial-vs-RenderAction-vs-Partial-vs-Action-in-MVC-Razor.html
