I have a partial view called _News that when called by itself works as expected.

When I call it from another view using the following code:

<div>
  @html.Partial("_News");
</div>

It throws this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

At this line of code in the view:

@foreach (var item in Model) {

Where the view is referencing the model. I realise this means that the view is not being passed the model from the Controller but I am perplexed as to why.

The Controller is called NewsController and is located in Controllers. The View is called _News and is located in Shared Views. The view calling the partial view is the default home/index page.

    If your partial needs to access data from the model, you need to pass the model into the Partial() method:

    @Html.Partial("_News", Model)

    MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.html.partialextensions.partial%28v=vs.108%29.aspx

    EDIT:

    Per your comment below, I think you’re actually after this: http://haacked.com/archive/2009/11/17/aspnetmvc2-render-action.aspx – this lets you call a controller action and render the result into the current view.
