Layout is just like a master page, eg. navigation menu. Partial view is a simple view without any layout associated, eg. table with data in view.   please look into below links.    layout  http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/mvc_layout.asp.    partial view  http://mvc4beginner.com/Tutorial/MVC-Partial-Views.html
