How do I achieve ModelBinding with Html.RenderAction?

Question

I'm working through a MVC book which uses the older version of Html.RenderAction. So it looks like this in the book Html.RenderAction("Summary", "Cart"); I have had to convert to Html.RenderAction<CartController>(m => m.Summary(new Cart()));.

Where Summary looks like:

public ViewResult Summary(Cart cart)
{
    return View(cart);
}

I have a binding set up for Cart in the global.asax

ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(Cart), new CartModelBinder());

So what is the best way do get the Binding to create the parameter cart instance rather then me manually doing it?

I have several ideas of how to fix this, but since I'm new to MVC I'm looking to see what the accepted practice is.

Thanks

Answer 1

Instead of using

HTML.RenderAction()

use

HTML.RenderPartial()

for eg:-

<% Html.RenderPartial("Summary", new cart(parameters)); %>

this will work sure.
