For static websites, I always made a Sitemap.xml file and submitted it to search engines like google, bing etc.
But now, I have made a website in Asp.net MVC which has 3 dynamic pages which yields content for the supplied id. For example there is a Store controller with Section action method that takes an id (like electronics) as parameter and shows the result for it.
Since the website is dynamic in nature, I am not sure whether I should make a sitemap or not. And if I should what should the sitemap have. In essence, How can i submit my site to search engines for indexing?
I tried checking Programmers and SO for sitemap and they don't have any. So does this mean i should leave it entirely on google bots to discover my site and index it. I just need to know the basic steps for a dynamic Asp.net MVC website

Google has a spec for this, developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification. You need to provide the content via classic web site technology. This is called a core site and you can also use it to support obsolete browsers like IE8.
Jeff Atwood asked a similar question over on the Pro Webmasters StackExchange.
The Sitemap Paradox
The word from Google:
Granted, for really small, static, easily crawlable sites, using Sitemaps may be unnecessary from Google's point of view once the site has been crawled and indexed. For anything else, I'd really recommend using them.
Worth reading in its entirety.
