Question

Has anyone come across something like this before? Basically, I have an action on a controller that merely queries the database via a repository pattern, adds some data to the ViewData then returns the View. But for some reason this action is being called 4 times per request.

The whole action itself is only about 10 lines long:

public ActionResult Details(int id, string slug) {     Product p = productRepository.GetProduct(id);      IEnumerable<Image> imgs = productRepository.GetImages(p.ProductId);     if (imgs.Count() > 0) {         ViewData['MainImage'] = imgs.First();         ViewData['Images'] = imgs;     }      Brand brand = productRepository.GetBrand(p.ProductId);     ViewData['Brand'] = brand;      var categories = productRepository.GetCategories(p.ProductId, true);     ViewData['ProductCategories'] = categories;      return View('Details', p); } 

Also, the routes defined in my Global.asax are as follows:

routes.MapRoute(     'SlugsAfterId',     '{controller}.mvc/{action}/{id}/{slug}',     new { controller = 'Products', action = 'Browse', id = '' } );  // The default route that comes with ASP.NET MVC routes.MapRoute(     'Default',                                              // Route name     '{controller}.mvc/{action}/{id}',                           // URL with parameters     new { controller = 'Home', action = 'Index', id = '' }  // Parameter defaults ); 

Can anyone shed any light on this please? I am completely stumped.

Looks like those requests might be client-side requests like images, css or js files.
