Hi,

A better aproach would be to create a new ViewModel which is just a class that contains your list property and pass this into your PartialView.

Code not tested

Create a new class in your Models folder:

public MyViewModel {
    public List<string> List { get; set; }
}

In your surface controller:

public ActionResult Index() {
    MyViewModel _model = new MyViewModel() {
        List = new List<string>()
    };

    return Partial("PartialView", _model);
}

And then in your partial view:

@Model MyViewModel

@foreach(var item in Model.List)
{
     // do stuff
}
