Passing ViewData to PartialView is returned using Html.Action

Question

I want to insert a partial view on an ASP.NET MVC page, returning it from an action method.

In my basic view, I would:

<%= Html.Action("MyPartialViewAction") %>

My controller will have an action method, for example:

[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult MyPartialViewAction()
{
    return PartialView("MyPartialView");
}

I expected the returned partial view (MyPartialView) to access the ViewData that was set in the controller action of the main page, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I insert a partial view using the following in my base view, it works:

<% Html.RenderPartial("MyPartialView") %>

I don't want to do this because I want my "MyPartialViewAction" to execute logic to determine which partial view WHICH returns.
