ASP.NET MVC PartialView get html string

Is there a way to get the Html string from a PartialView inside the controller?

I have an odd scenario where I need to return some extra data along with the partial view to deal with error conditions.

What I'd like to do is something like:

 return Json( 
     new { 
         status = "OK", 
         content = PartialView("Orders", model).ToHTML() 
     });

I did find a similar question on here but none of the solutions were very clean and as that question is over 2 years old now I thought I'd see if there is any better way in MVC2.0.

You could use an Action along with RenderAction to accomplish that. More information in MSDN, here and in Phil Haack's blog.
