Hi There

I need to render a partial view to a string within a controller action. I have the following sample code, but the ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext does not seem to exist in mvc 1.0

            // Get the IView of the PartialView object.
            var view = PartialView("MyPartialView").View;

            // Initialize a StringWriter for rendering the output.
            var writer = new StringWriter();

            // Do the actual rendering.
            view.Render(ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext, writer);

Any tips greatly appreciated.
