mvc render partial view without httpContext or controller context

Question

Is it possible to render partial view without ViewContext or ControllerContext? - I'm trying to get PartialView Html as string from outside of Controller Action. - OR - Is it possible to call Controller Action from another method? (this will allow me to execute controller action and get partial view html this way).

Accepted Answer

You can try the Razor Generator Visual Studio Extension. Basically you run the custom tool on your view and it will generate a class that you can pass a model into and it will generate a string.
