Hi all,

DNN 8 is working fine, I got nearly all features working, e.g. partials and partial views. Now I came across with a problem I can't solve by myself. I wanna call a controller action directly from a view. Problem is: I get an exception telling me that there are no routes that would match. What I did was: Initialize a new instance of System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper like new HtmlHelper<T>(base.ViewContext, this, base.Html.RouteCollection), in the overridden System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage.InitHelpers() method, then calling base.HtmlHelper.Action("[METHOD]", "[CONTROLLER]") from the view to invoke the controller's action. Is there anybody out there who knows how to achieve the goal?

Hi Brian,

I know that DNN replaces the HTML helper by its own, but i use the default one in addition to get partials working. Url.Action prints the client URL of the action to the view as String, I use this to configure client side partial rendering (https://dnntracker.atlassian.net/brow...). The question is, is there a way to invoke a controller method before the rendered HTML get sent to the client?
