How to display html action as string in mvc 3 razor view

I am using @Html.Action to call contoller action to return a string. I want to save the string to a variable inside razor as it is comma-seperated. 

@Html.Action("GetCategories", new { SP = @ViewBag.Name, SD = "Cad" }).ToString();
//@String s = save above string in here
//@string[] arrS = s.Split(','); 

@String test = @Html.Action(......) //tried this but does NOT work.

Public ActionResult GetCategories(string SP, string SD)
{
  //Code missing
  return Content(return "sugar");
}

How can I save the Html.Action returned data to a string ?

Url.Action only/always returns a Url. Not sure how this selected answer solved the problem for you unless you DID want the Url (e.g. /Controller/Action/...).

Seems Html.Action was what you wanted all along. It would return the contents "sugar" if you simply had your return coded like this;

return Content("sugar");

You can display it right on the page or use the suggested syntax from "Mark" to save it to a varible

This works for me, just tried in a local MVC project:

@{
      string test;
      test = @Url.Action("actionName");          
 }
