Ext.Net MVC - how to populate page controls

[fordprefect]

Hi,

I have some controls (selectbox, treegrid, etc) on my view page and I'm wondering how I pass data to them from the controller so that they are populated when the page loads.

For example, I would think of doing this for the selectbox:

View:

<%: Html.DropDownList("Months", (SelectList)ViewData["Months"])%>

Controller:

 public ActionResult Index()
 {
           var months = GetMonths();
           ViewData["Months"] = new SelectList(months, "Id", "Name");
           return View();
 }

However, I'm not sure how to achieve the same with Ext.

I was able to solve this issue by calling AjaxResult from my view and using store.loadData with the result set.
