主要是看Widget这个扩展方法

 public static MvcHtmlString Widget(this HtmlHelper helper, string widgetZone, object additionalData = null)
        {
            return helper.Action("WidgetsByZone", "Widget", new { widgetZone = widgetZone, additionalData = additionalData });
        }

添加这个类后，就可以在cshtml页面中直接@Html.Widget了

看Widget实现，还是调用的Action方法，第一个参数action名字，第二参数Controller

找到WidgetController下面的WidgetsByZone方法

[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult WidgetsByZone(string widgetZone, object additionalData = null)
        {
            var cacheKey = string.Format(ModelCacheEventConsumer.WIDGET_MODEL_KEY, _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id, widgetZone);
            var cacheModel = _cacheManager.Get(cacheKey, () =>
            {
                //model
                var model = new List<RenderWidgetModel>();

                var widgets = _widgetService.LoadActiveWidgetsByWidgetZone(widgetZone, _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id);
                foreach (var widget in widgets)
                {
                    var widgetModel = new RenderWidgetModel();

                    string actionName;
                    string controllerName;
                    RouteValueDictionary routeValues;
                    widget.GetDisplayWidgetRoute(widgetZone, out actionName, out controllerName, out routeValues);
                    widgetModel.ActionName = actionName;
                    widgetModel.ControllerName = controllerName;
                    widgetModel.RouteValues = routeValues;

                    model.Add(widgetModel);
                }
                return model;
            });

            //no data?
            if (cacheModel.Count == )
                return Content("");

            //"RouteValues" property of widget models depends on "additionalData".
            //We need to clone the cached model before modifications (the updated one should not be cached)
            var clonedModel = new List<RenderWidgetModel>();
            foreach (var widgetModel in cacheModel)
            {
                var clonedWidgetModel = new RenderWidgetModel();
                clonedWidgetModel.ActionName = widgetModel.ActionName;
                clonedWidgetModel.ControllerName = widgetModel.ControllerName;
                if (widgetModel.RouteValues != null)
                    clonedWidgetModel.RouteValues = new RouteValueDictionary(widgetModel.RouteValues);

                if (additionalData != null)
                {
                    if (clonedWidgetModel.RouteValues == null)
                        clonedWidgetModel.RouteValues = new RouteValueDictionary();
                    clonedWidgetModel.RouteValues.Add("additionalData", additionalData);
                }

                clonedModel.Add(clonedWidgetModel);
            }

            return PartialView(clonedModel);
        }

[ChildActionOnly]
Child action 和 Patial view 类似，也是在应用程序的不同地方可以重复利用相同的子内容。不同的是，它是通过调用 controller 中的 action 方法来呈现子内容的，并且一般包含了业务的处理。任何 action 都可以作为子 action 。接下来介绍如何使用它。详细信息请见 http://www.cnblogs.com/willick/archive/2013/11/14/3410855.html

 var widgets = _widgetService.LoadActiveWidgetsByWidgetZone(widgetZone, _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id);

这个WidgetByZone就是查找当前已使用的@Html.Widget（“xxx”）并返回相应的控制器名字，方法名和路由值

打开试图Widget\WidgetsByZone.cshtml

@model List<RenderWidgetModel>
@using Nop.Web.Models.Cms;
@foreach (var widget in Model)
{
    @Html.Action(widget.ActionName, widget.ControllerName, widget.RouteValues)
}

这个视图的目的就是循环输出html，具体输出的内容在插件里面实现的，比如插件Nop.Plugin.Widgets.NivoSlider里面有个NivoSliderPlugin，这类插件必须继承自BasePlugin,和IWidgetPlugin，里面的方法GetDisplayWidgetRoute就是用于返回显示这个插件内容的action的信息，WidgetsNivoSliderController.cs里面的public ActionResult PublicInfo(string widgetZone)就是这个插件具体输出的内容，大体流程就是这样了。
