    <p><strong>Problem:</strong></p> <p>What I need is something similar to @Html.RenderAction("action","controller") , but one that I can use from inside a different controller. This for example:</p> <pre><code>public class FirstController : Controller { public ActionResult GetErDone() { return View(); } } public class SecondController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { ActionResult coolResult = Helper.GetActionResult("GetErDone", "FirstController"); return View(); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Progress:</strong></p> <p>I have begun to strip/reform the actual @Html.Action() method but it really has too many internal helper dependencies and I am thinking this shouldn't be that tough. What I have so far is:</p> <pre><code> private void TestCreateActionFromDifferentController(RouteValueDictionary routeValues, string controllerName, string actionName) { var httpContext = this.HttpContext; var routeData = this.RouteData; routeData.Values["action"] = (object)actionName; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(controllerName)) routeData.Values["controller"] = (object)controllerName; IController myController = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory().CreateController(new RequestContext(httpContext, routeData) , "staticpages"); } </code></pre> <p>This works partially of course (minus the many shortcomings like area data tokens etc) but still there is no way other than reflection to get to the <code>MyActionResult</code> object.</p> <p><strong>Summary:</strong></p> <p>When inside a controller, what is a way to get an ActionResult from an action that is defined on a different controller, ?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>More specifically, I am trying to use something like System.Web.Mvc.Html.ChildActionExtensions.ChildActionMvcHandler but one that doesnt execute, rather it returns the ActionResult</p>

    3. COThanks for the links, however: I dont need to `Render` a `View`, I need to create an instance of an `ActionResult` object (more similar to this is to render an Action - Still different from rendering a View). Also, I dont need to return a string, I need to return an ActionResult (which needs the controllerContext thus it cannot be refactored). This is very specific and very different

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
