Can a ViewBag.Something transport data from view to the controller as well?
===

I have the following case: 

    @model MvcApp.Models.MyAppModel
    @{ ViewBag.ActionName = this.Context.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["action"]; }

using the debugger i checked and i am certain that Viewbag.ActionName recieves its value.
However in the controller ViewBag is always empty. WHY? i am using this between these requests only ( meaning that i always respect this order, from this view i click an actionlink that always takes me to delete. Please enlighten me. Cheers.

    [AuthorizeOwnerOrAdmin]
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Delete(int id)
    {
        string actionName = ViewBag.ActionName;
any details you need just ask.
