ASP.NET MVC Html.RenderAction method

I try to use the method something like this:

<%Html.RenderAction<NavigatorController>(n => n.Menu());%>

but got an exception "A public action method 'Menu' could not be found on controller 'WebUI.Controllers.ProductsController'. Why compiler try to find it in ProductsController, if I specify NavigatorController for this purposes? Code in my NavigatorController very simple:

namespace WebUI.Controllers
{
    public class NavigatorController : Controller
    {
        public string Menu()
        {
            return "NavigatorController here";
        }
    }
}

P.S. I use RenderAction from ASP.NET MVC Features library.

I resolved this issue. As @jfar mentioned error was something else, error was in my custom controller factory module, that I wrote using Castle.Windsor library, I tried to implement inversion of control describing in Steven Sanderson book (Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework). So, my method that register all Controller types was:

    _container = new WindsorContainer(new XmlInterpreter(new ConfigResource("castle")));
                IEnumerable<Type> controllerTypes = from type in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
                                                    where typeof(IController).IsAssignableFrom(type)
                                                    select type;

container.Register(Component.For(controllerTypes).LifeStyle.Is开发者_StackOverflow(LifestyleType.Transient));

After reading some article I replace it by this:

_container.Register(AllTypes.FromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
                .BasedOn<Controller>()
                .Configure(c => c.LifeStyle.Transient.Named(c.Implementation.Name.ToLower())));

and all work fine now

you can use the following statement in your view.

<% Html.RenderAction("Menu", "Navigator"); %>

This error must be happening someplace else.

<%Html.RenderAction<NavigatorController>(n => n.Menu());%>

This code would always use the NavigationController.

Like jfar said:

This error must be happening someplace else.

Check your routes.

My guess is you modified your routes, and it's always picking the one for the ProductsController.
