But when I implemented both above mentioned examples, I only had to change my struts.xml . In both, action is no

File -> New Project for ASP.NET MVC projects used to generate controllers with virtual actions. I'm not sure if that stopped with MVC 2 or MVC 3, but is this no longer a best practice? archil T4MVC Does make action methods virtual.

I don't have problems sending back XMLs, the problem is receiving XML via a POST. I have seen some JSON examples, but since I will not control my clients (it could be even a telnet from my point of view) I don't think JSON will work. Am I correct?

I need to do some calculations on an ASP.NET MVC View, an action different than the form submission. I've tried various methods of passing the current Model on to a new controller action via an ActionLink, but the model doesn't appear to be passed. public ActionResult Calculate(MuralProject proj) { ProjectFormRepository db = new ProjectFormRepository(); List<Constant> constants = db.GetConstantsByFormType(FormTypeEnum.Murals); proj.Materials = new MuralMaterials(); proj.Materials.Volunteers = this.GetVolunteerCount(constants, proj); this.InitializeView(); return View("View", proj); } What
