MVC 3: render action in different controller from view

Question

I must be missing something obvious. I have a view A in controller B that needs to call and render an action method Y in controller Z.

Should I be doing something like this in view A ? I'm getting errors in VS about how it can't resolve action '/Z/Y'

@Html.RenderAction("/Z/Y", new ModelUsedInActionMethodY())

You need to use:

@Html.RenderAction("Y", "Z")

This will route to Action Method Y in ZController. See the MSDN documentation for a complete list of method signatures for Html.RenderAction().
