I have tried to pass data from one Action to another in the same Controller but it seems this do not work. I get null. How to pass value between controllers?

Action1

 ViewData["ProductId"] = productId;

Action2

var productId = ViewData["ProductId"];//Always Null

how did you call the second action inside first action? If you call 

RedircectToAction("Acion2").

then you can pass the parameter by action property like this:

RedirectToAction("Action2", new { productID= ViewBag.ProductId});

public ActionResult Action2(Guid productID)
{
}

You can also use the TempData to share data until the next request.

You could use this.Session["ProductId"], but this approach is generally incorrect and leads to difficult-to-maintain code that isn't scalable. More likely, you should be passing this to your view to render as an input field (for a form), or for generating urls (for links).
