    <p>I like to just use the default constructor on models for the view and populate them via <a href="https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper" rel="nofollow">Automapper</a>. </p> <p>I would have a view model like this:</p> <pre><code>public interface IHasDescription { public string DescriptionText { get; set; } } public class ViewModelType : IHasDescription { [DisplayName("This will be rendered in the view")] public string SomeText { get; set; } public string DescriptionText { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>And I have a model from the DAL like this:</p> <pre><code>public class DALModelType { public string SomeText { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>So you have something like this in your controller:</p> <pre><code>var dalModel = someRepository.GetAll(); var viewModel = Mapper.Map&lt;DALModelType, ViewModelType&gt;(dalModel); </code></pre> <p>And you have the Automapper setup code in some file. This way you only have the conversion code in one place instead of in multiple methods/controllers. You have a <a href="https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/wiki/Custom-value-resolvers" rel="nofollow">custom resolver</a> which uses dependency injection (instead of () => new CustomResolver()) and this will house your logic for getting the display text.</p> <pre><code>Mapper.CreateMap&lt;IHasDescription, ViewModelType&gt;() .ForMember(dest =&gt; dest.DescriptionText, opt =&gt; opt.ResolveUsing&lt;CustomResolver&gt;().ConstructedBy(() =&gt; new CustomResolver())); </code></pre> <p>Not sure if this works with your workflow but it <em>should</em> be able to get you what you want.</p>

    1. COSo the custom resolver handles the fact that more than one class maps to the same interface? That is what is pushing me to the factory class in my question and that is what I am most uncomfortable about and completely unclear how to get rid of.

    2. COOk, now that I read the link you provided I've concluded that I should reasonably expect my DI container (Ninject) to have some answer for this scenario. Furthermore it looks like it does and I need contextual binding https://github.com/ninject/ninject/wiki/Contextual-Binding and I probably need this as well: https://github.com/ninject/ninject.extensions.factory/wiki

    3. COYeah, that should actually solve your problem. In your ninject initialization you should be able to load from a resource file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
