You don’t set a controller to a view. It works by convention. The controller action will first look at the ~/Views/ControllerName folder for the view and then in ~/Views/Shared. If the view is in some non-standard location you could specify its location when returning it:

return PartialView("~/Views/SomeLocation/SomeView.ascx");
