Here it is on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/483091/render-a-view-as-a-string/1241257#1241257 Hope it helps. :) Greetings Hello people,

Anyway, i just wanted to add that nesting the custom render partial works just fine (i use it for a email template service). If you need to make the helpers work (html/ajax/url) remember to call InitHelpers() on the ViewPage (and add ViewContext / ControllerContext).

It seems working, maybe the MVC team is a little strict nowadays when it comes to rendering a page with a null viewdata,I really don't know.But I hope this helps you. To Ozkan,

Unfortunatelly I've immediately got another showstopper - nested renderpartials won't work (if you "rendered to string" control calls another renderpartial). @Martin: Right, I’ve already added that and that part works.

I guess you are probably using the HtmlHelpers which needs the ViewContext to be set. Look at my post (in the comments) for an example of an extension method that probably does what you want. @Mika Markic: You just have to add the ViewContext to your ViewPage.
