To make a partial view, right-click on the Shared folder, then choose Add, then View.. to bring up the Add View dialog.  Select the “Create as a partial view” checkbox in the Add New Item popup and specify a partial view name. We don’t need to employ a model for this partial view, so select Empty (no model) from the Template choice and hit the Add button. In the Shared folder, this will generate an empty partial view. Now, you can paste it into the _MenuBar.cshtml
