Awesome! Just what I was looking for. It's what I expected was the answer, but it's great to see an implementation.

Thanks for the tips, will try and implement them.

Although, I do have a degree in CS, I could never got myself to read technical books/research papers. I have always approached programming(mostly my assignments) as solving puzzles, and never cared to understand the nuances of the languages. But now that I am looking for jobs, with interviews extensively based on the different programing languages I am forced sit down and read crank up my knowledge of different languages. It's been really really tough. But, thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this issue, they make sense.

@Garry - it may be a little old but Steve Sanderson's blog post is a great resource blog.codeville.net/.../partial-requests-in-aspnet-mvc

He mentions in the comments (when discussing master pages) that view data can be populated using a common base controller or filter attributes (action filters) or any other way you like.

I'll be interested to see what the official standpoint for this is in Asp.Net MVC 2 as it has been quite a contentious topic thus far.

@Neil - This is the technique I am using on a current MVC application. As always there are multiple ways to do the same thing and it is only through practice that you find a technique you are happy with. As I learn more about MVC, I will perhaps find a better way like you suggest. Do you have any pointers to your suggestions?

Sorry Garry, I don't like this approach as it will require Header header = DataRepository.GetHeader(id); to be repeated in multiple actions. There are plenty of better ways to pass around partial view data.
