Curious, why don't you want to use ViewData/ViewModel?

Thanks Daz for quick reply. infact i don't like ViewData approach and use it only when i have no other options. ViewModel is a sophisticated approach however but i have more than 80 pages and i m not in favor of creating viewmodel for a value that can be plucked from route value dictionary unless someone tells me its dangerousregards

If you have 80+ pages wanting to use the Id field I'd recommend a base model populated off and overriden OnActionExecuted in a custom base controller.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2751225/how-to-use-a-base-viewmodel-in-asp-net-mvc-2
