When I'm in a View and I call @Html.RenderPartial("MyPartialView", MyObject) Can I set it up so that this partial view has a controller which is called when RenderPartial gets called?

Probably it will be better to use the RenderAction instead of the RenderPartial

Yes. It looks like I need to use RenderAction instead. Also found this helpful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3968664/asp-net-mvc-2-0-difference-between-renderpartial-and-renderaction – dev.e.loper Jul 05 '11 at 21:00

You should gather all data necessary for the partial in the current controller action (which may use methods shared across other controllers and actions).
If you really want a partial to be rendered using its own controller/action then consider loading it via AJAX with a separate request.

In MVC, although controllers know about views, the reverse is not true.
Views are just means to render some data (a model or a viewModel) but they are not related to a controller or an action.
