To develop a wizard in ASP.NET MVC you will use the following approach:

1. Each wizard step will have an action method in the controller and a view.
2. The data accepted in each wizard step is stored in a view model class designed for that step.
3. All the action methods for wizard steps will accept three parameters - step's view model object and two string parameters indicating the Next / Previous status.
4. The action methods mentioned above grab the data from view model object and store it in Session till the final step.
5. The action methods return a view for the next step if Next button is clicked. If Previous button is clicked they return a view for the previous step and they return the same view if there are any model validation errors.
6. Model validations are checked only when Next button is clicked.
