How to Render Partial View into a String

I am looking to render a Partial in my C# code to string, does anyone know how I can achieve this? The partial is just a good old partial that sits in the Partials directory and will not be used by anything else.

protected string RenderPartialViewToString(string viewName, object model)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(viewName))
        viewName = ControllerContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("action");

    ViewData.Model = model;

    using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) {
        ViewEngineResult viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, viewName);
        ViewContext viewContext = new ViewContext(ControllerContext, viewResult.View, ViewData, TempData, sw);
        viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);

        return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
    }
}

You can Use HTML.Partial which returns an MvcHtmlString, now on that you can use a ToString() method and so you get a string. Do not confuse with HTML.RenderPartial();

Html.Partial or Html.RenderPartial with MVC3?

as I mentioned, I need to render it in C#, not in the view – Funky Aug 14 '12 at 09:25
Yes, you can use the HtmlHelper Class anywhere in your code as long as you have a reference to System.Web.Mvc . – Freeman Aug 14 '12 at 09:28
This method does not appear in my IntelliSense – Funky Aug 14 '12 at 12:17
