Answer
View Components bundle UI logic + view together and do not run through the MVC pipeline.
They support DI, encapsulate logic, and provide reusable & testable UI widgets, unlike partial views which render only markup.
Quick Answer
ViewComponents are more powerful than Partial Views because they have their own InvokeAsync() that runs server logic — dependency injection, async database queries — before rendering. Partial Views receive a model passed in from the calling view and just render it. ViewComponents encapsulate UI + logic together; Partial Views are just reusable HTML snippets.
