Question

I have a class and call it from a razor viewpage in asp.net mvc3.
How can i pass the HtmlHelper from the View to my class ?
I can do this but then ive got not all methods for example “RenderAction” and “RenderPartial”
are missing.

Update

I want to call a Partial View because its easier to implement (by the end user) and doesnt require a complete compilation of my site.

please note that the following example is NOT excactly what i want to do 😉 I think my example is stupid, but it shows in generall what i want to do.

ViewPage:
HtmlString str = new Renderer().Render(this.Html)

Code (behind):

  public class Renderer
    {
        HtmlHelper _html;

        public Renderer(HtmlHelper html)
        {
            this._html = html;
        }

        public HtmlString Render()
        {
            string result = string.Empty;
            // getting html from a partial view
            return new HtmlString(result);
        }
    }

The Problem was missing usings.

using System.Web.Mvc.Html;

makes the Methods visible Everything else was unnecessary.
