Here's a way to pass a dynamic object to a view (or partial view)

Add the following class anywhere in your solution (use System namespace, so its ready to use without having to add any references) -

    namespace System
    {
        public static class ExpandoHelper
        {
            public static ExpandoObject ToExpando(this object anonymousObject)
            {
                IDictionary anonymousDictionary = HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(anonymousObject);
                IDictionary expando = new ExpandoObject();
                foreach (var item in anonymousDictionary)
                    expando.Add(item);
                return (ExpandoObject)expando;
            }

        }
    }

When you send the model to the view, convert it to Expando :

    return View(new {x=4, y=6}.ToExpando());
