Update View Component

In v4.6 is there a way to update a View Component without reloading the main View that originally loads the View Component

I tried a JScript routine on a timer to use a Route to call a Controller routine that does a ViewComponent(typeof(XXXViewComponent)) with the view to return the Html so it can be injected to a <div> as per some old Google Posts

This does call the InvokeAsync() but maybe the problem is I did not know how to await the return value from InvokeAsync() as it appears you cannot await ViewComponent(...)

Any suggestions on how to do it would be appreciated

No one has done it or its not possible ?

We have not tried this and a little more detail may help but here's a possible solution.

You could try sticking the view component into a view that's only job is to render the view component. You would then call the controller action with jQuery.
