What clever things have you done with an ASP.NET MVC Action method

Question

The ASP.NET MVC controller action methods are primarily used for handling \'business\' operations but it can be used for lots more.

I thought it would be fun to see

Answer 1

Actually, not an "action" method, but a custom controller that implements a route-base RPC implementation. It identifies the contract and method from the route-data and passes the call onto the server-side service implementation. Pretty efficient (and yes, there are valid reasons that I'm not just using WCF or SOAP).
