ASP.Net MVC, RenderPartial to string with ViewModel data

I am attempting to render a partial view to a string from within a controller. I am using the following which is working well:

    StringBuilder ViewBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    using (StringWriter ViewWriter = new StringWriter(ViewBuilder))
    {
        ViewEngineResult ViewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(PageController.ControllerContext, controlName);
        ViewContext ViewContext = new ViewContext(PageController.ControllerContext, ViewResult.View, PageController.ViewData, PageController.TempData, ViewWriter);
        ViewResult.View.Render(ViewContext, ViewWriter);
    }
    ret开发者_如何学编程urn ViewBuilder.ToString();

However I would like to be able to load typed model data into this view as well. I am looking for ideas on how this might be done.

Thanks

Edit:

It turns out I was looking in the wrong spot. I was able to set it using the ViewDataDictionary, see below:

ViewDataDictionary ViewData = new ViewDataDictionary();
ViewData.Model = GetModelState();

I think Model is a property of View or ViewContext.

Have a look at this. http://blog.learningdds.com/?p=87

It is an extension method for the controller that renders the HTML in a View / PartialView to a String.

The code for it is here: http://learningdds.com/public/ControllerExtension.cs

It is based on the blog you refered to above.
