title: ASP.NET call a controller method from the master page?
body: <p>In ASP.NET MVC2 how do you call a controller method from the master page?  Say for example I wanted to include some overview data in the master:</p>
  
  <pre><code>+--------------------------------------+
  | Logo                      Welcome xyz|
  +--------------------------------------+
  | total sales this month $999          |
  +--------------------------------------+
  | Home | Sales | Import | Export (menu)|
  +--------------------------------------+
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have inside the Sales controller this method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult TotalSalesThisMonth()
  {
      var totalSalesModel = SalesService.GetTotalSalesThisMonth()
      return View(totalSalesModel);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I call that View from inside the master so that it will be displayed on every page?</p>
