    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?
