Using MVC Partial View's own model instead of its parent's

Question

I need to populate a list box in a partial view, using ASP.NET MVC4.

Can Partial View have its own @model, as opposed to taking a model from its parent as described here?

I can populate my dropdown box using a separate AJAX call to another MVC controller (i.e. not parent page/url) as discussed here, but the resulting syntax is a bit more clumsy; furthermore, an additional endpoint is exposed to the outside world.

Yes - you can call partial view with any model you like. There is no requirement that data somehow comes from current model.

  @Html.Partial("PartialView1", new MyOtherModel(42))
