how to call a method in controller asynchronously in mvc3

I have to call the method in the controller from view, but not using any click, so I am thinking to do it using the following line of code: 

@Html.RenderAction("Replies", new { id= item.ID})

and my method in the controller is like this:

public post Replies(int Id)  
    {  
        post posts = new post();  
        posts = new Data_Access().Get_Replies(Id);   
        return posts;  
    }

but this is showing error saying that "can not implicitly convert type void to object"
can any one please help me.. thanks

RenderAction writes the result directly to the page and returns void.
@whatever writes the result of whatever to the page.

Since RenderAction doesn't return anything, it cannot be used in an @ block.

Instead, you should write @Html.Action(...).
Html.Action returns the result as an HelperResult object.
