we are using asp.net mvc-3 for our application. we populate a property of controller from db on initialize method of controller. i don't want this code to be executed on partial requests and ajax requests. is there some way i can achieve this without directly accessing Request object? Any suggestions in change of approach are also welcome

Why not use the Request.IsAjaxRequest if its available? If you don't want this property you need to access a header, which is in the request object anyways. The partial request won't hit your controller anyways - only RenderAction will hit your controller. RenderPartial will only hit your view.

Mock httpcontext - depends on what mock framework you use but: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452418/how-do-i-mock-the-httpcontext-in-asp-net-mvc-using-moq (various methods on there) – Adam Tuliper May 10 '11 at 02:30
