I would like to access the Html object inside a class, so I could call Class.Method to render something using Html.Partial.
Is there a way I can call it Class.Method() instead of Class.Method(Html) ?

One way or another you're going to need a reference to HtmlHelper to call the Partial method.
You can make it an extension of HtmlHelper
public static MvcHtmlString Method(this HtmlHelper helper, Class @class)
{
return helper.Partial(....);
}
Or create an HtmlHelper from within the Method method on Class, which might be more problematic since the Context won't exist on that class unless you find a reference to it through your HttpContext
You can easily create an HtmlHelper on your Controller like so:
HtmlHelper _htmlHelper;
public HtmlHelper HtmlHelper
{
get
{
if (_htmlHelper == null)
{
TextWriter writer = new StringWriter();
_htmlHelper = new HtmlHelper(new ViewContext(ControllerContext,
new WebFormView("Default"),
new ViewDataDictionary(),
new TempDataDictionary(), writer), new ViewPage());
}
return _htmlHelper;
}
}
