There are two methods that you can use to render a "control".

@Html.Partial("ViewName")
@{ Html.RenderPartial("ViewName"); }

You can also render other actions.

@Html.Action("ActionName", "Controller", new { Values = "yourvalues" })
@{ Html.RenderAction("ActionName", "Controller", new { Values = "yourvalues" }); }

Notice the second of each one is surrounded by @{ } this is because they do not return a string but render directly to the stream.
