GetGridHtml in Controller
Hi,

Is it possible to render out a grid in a controller?

I tried creating a new RenderModel, but GetGridHtml is nowhere to be found..

Looking for something like this:
```
var node = Umbraco.TypedContent(nodeId);
var model = new Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel(node, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture); 
var gridOutput = model.Content.GetGridHtml("gridAlias", "gridRenderer");
```
I know I can just render out a view that calls the method, but that is not what I need, and i'd like to avoid having to make duplicate views.

Basically I want to call a method in my controller that'll return a rendered grid.

Thanks in advance :)

Just tried using:
```
GridTemplateExtensions.GetGridHtml(node, "gridAlias", "gridRenderer");
```
But it throws a null reference exception for Parametername: publishedContentRequest

Can't seem to find anything related to the grid when searching for that =/

Any ideas?

Hello,

What happens when you try the following?
```
using Umbraco.Web;

var node = Umbraco.TypedContent(nodeId);
var html = node.GetGridHtml("gridAlias", "gridRenderer");
```

Hmm in that case it might be better to check how it works in the sourcecode: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/ded1def8e2e7ea1a4fd0f849cc7a3f1f97cd8242/src/Umbraco.Web/GridTemplateExtensions.cs.

Thanks for the link Jeroen,

Doesn't seem to be much I can do with that extension, besides what is already being done above..

I might just end up creating a separate renderview instead.

Hi, Did you manage to create your own RenderView?
