HTML-Helper function that can render a Partial-View

Question

Is it possible to create a HTML.Helper function that renders a Partial View?

In my project, this would allow me to create a Helper for showing information messages (or error messages). This function would (for example) receive the message itself and would render a partial view with the html for showing that message. I know i could just put the html together inside the helper function itself (without using a partial view) but in that case, for changing the looks of the messages shown i would have to mess with code, and not just a partial view file.

Can anyone help me with that one?

Thanks in advance, Marcelo Myara Rio de Janeiro-Brazil

You can use Html.RenderAction or Html.Action (Difference between Html.RenderAction and Html.Action)

@Html.Action("MyAction", "MyController", new { MyMessage = "test" })

OR

@{ Html.RenderAction("MyAction", "MyController", new { MyMessage = "test" }) }

Ok, you're right, but in my case, i want to call it from a user defined helper and not strait from a view... So I would implement another Helper (let's say "@RenderErrorMessage") and from this newly created method i would like to render a partial.
