How to get the Model from an ActionResult?

Question

I\'m writing a unit test and I call an action method like this

var result = controller.Action(123);

result is ActionResult and

Answer 1

It's somewhat cheating but a very trivial way to do so in .NET4

dynamic result = controller.Action(123);

result.Model

Used this today in a unit test. Might be worth some sanity checks such as:

Assert.IsType(result); 
Assert.IsType(result.Model);

Assert.Equal(123, result.Model.Id);

You could skip the first one if the result is going to be a view or partial result depending on the input.
