    copied!<p>i have done as Vdex suggested here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/5801502/973485">https://stackoverflow.com/a/5801502/973485</a> And used the <code>RenderPartialToString</code> method he found. And it works perfectly like this:</p> <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } public ActionResult Test() { string t = ViewToString.RenderPartialToString("Index", null, ControllerContext); return Content(t); } } </code></pre> <p>But if i want to render the Home > Index from another Controller, i get:</p> <pre><code>Value cannot be null. Parameter name: controllerContext </code></pre> <p>Like this:</p> <pre><code>public class FooController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { string t = ViewToString.RenderPartialToString("Index", null, new HomeController().ControllerContext); return Content(t); } } </code></pre> <p>Is there any way to pass a View from another Controller to a string? I have tried many different methods, and it all of them fails at the ControllerContext. Many thanks!</p> <p><strong>Update: Why i need to do this:</strong></p> <p>Imagine i have a website full of widgets, the amount of widgets on each page is dynamic, so i cannot hardcode them in my cshtml file. But in that file there are different areas defined where the widgets gets printet out. To print out these widget i have a list of IWidgetController wich contains alle the different Widgets available, and the interface sais that they need to containe a ActionResult for edit, new and view. example of widgets: CalenderController, NewsController, GalleryController and so on... So in those areas i need to print out the content of each of those Controllers. Now i could also load the URLHTML but i figured doing it from the inside would be faster... right?</p>
