With the Razor view engine in MVC3,
Is it possible to render a legacy ascx?
I was expecting to be able to do something like:
@Html.RenderPartial("Footer.ascx")

Yes. Try this instead:
@Html.Partial("Footer")
or
@{ Html.RenderPartial("Footer"); }
Just wanted to add that I haven't seen a lot of people posting this solution:
Html.RenderAction("Footer", "Home");
This is better practise if you are using MVC, because you can specify any data you need in the controller instead of trying to manage it in a free-floating partial view. Very beneficial if you use a BaseController class to initialize all your calls.
public class HomeController : Controller {
// ...
[ChildActionOnly]
public PartialViewResult Footer() {
// do work
return PartialView();
}
// ...
}
