Given two projects:

Project.Common
> Helpers
>> _PartialView.cshtml

Project.FirstProject
> Views
>> Shared
>>> (linked) _PartialView.cshtml

I have added a linked reference to _PartialView.cshtml to Project.FirstProject, linked from Project.Common:

However, what works when I copy the file to this location no longer works with the linked version.

I get the classic MVC "View not found" error (I have renamed the view here in the name of brevity):

The partial view '_PartialView' was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Home/_PartialView.aspx
~/Views/Home/_PartialView.ascx
~/Views/Shared/_PartialView.aspx
~/Views/Shared/_PartialView.ascx
~/Views/Home/_PartialView.cshtml
~/Views/Home/_PartialView.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/_PartialView.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/_PartialView.vbhtml

Why can't MVC find the linked partial view?

Because its in another project. I think partial views are only scoped to the project not the solution – zgood Jan 29 '19 at 16:20
@zgood I would expect linking cshtml files to behave in the same way that C# and js files behave. – BLAZORLOVER Jan 29 '19 at 16:21
Well I guess your expectations are wrong sorry – zgood Jan 29 '19 at 16:44
