How to get a partial view Html in the controller inside a folder?

Question

I have a partial view named Form.cshtml in Shared folder. There is not any action and controller for it. It is in Shared folder and I just render it in a view named Index in Home controller.

All of codes I found needed a controller context but I do not have any controllers. So can I get the Html by the view physical address or any other way?

In Controller You must do like this

   public ActionResult GetPartial()
    {
      var viewStr=RenderRazorViewToString("~/Views/Home/Partial1.cshtml",new object())
      return content(viewStr);
    }

    // by this method you can  get string of view -- Update
    public string RenderRazorViewToString(string viewName, object model)
        {
            ViewData.Model = model;
            using (var sw = new StringWriter())
            {
                var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext,
                                                                         viewName);
                var viewContext = new ViewContext(ControllerContext, viewResult.View,
                                             ViewData, TempData, sw);
                viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
                viewResult.ViewEngine.ReleaseView(ControllerContext, viewResult.View);
                return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
            }
