MVC framework use for mobile as well as for other windows application hwer i will provide you the information about Mobile MVC framework, Mobile MVC framework updated the framework to handle the scenario of passing data between different controllers: the Controller class implements two new methods:

Code:

public void Initialize(params object[] parameters)

and:

protected virtual void OnInitialize(params object[] parameters)

The NavigationService class has also been updated to support passing the parameters to its NavigateMethod:

Code:

public static void Navigate(string name, params object[] parameters)

public static void Navigate(Controller controller, params object[] parameters)

The ASP.NET MVC framework provides page-level containers for passing data between controllers and views. This topic explains how to pass both weakly typed and strongly typed data in an MVC application. It also explains how to pass temporary state data between action methods.

C# code

Code:

List<string> petList = new List<string>();
petList.Add("Dog");
petList.Add("Cat");
petList.Add("Hamster");
petList.Add("Parrot");
petList.Add("Gold fish");
petList.Add("Mountain lion");
petList.Add("Elephant");

ViewData["Pets"] = new SelectList(petList);

}

Here is also one more example of how the attributes to the controller has been passed.

Code:

public ActionResult Details(int id)
          {
               ViewData["categories"] = from c in _dataContext.MovieCategories 
                         select c;
               ViewData["movies"] = from m in _dataContext.Movies 
                         where m.CategoryId == id
                         select m;
               return View();
          }
