    <p>I've been working on enabling JSON compression from one of our MVC3 sites. From various articles I've read it seems as though I should be able to set the <code>application/json; charset=utf-8</code> MIME type in the applications web.config file. But doing so does not enable compression. But when added to the applicationhost.config file, it works. Am I missing something here?</p> <p>My application web.config has the following added to it:</p> <pre><code>&lt;httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"&gt; &lt;scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" /&gt; &lt;dynamicTypes&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/javascript; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/json" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;/dynamicTypes&gt; &lt;staticTypes&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/javascript; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/json" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/json; charset=utf-8" enabled="true" /&gt; &lt;/staticTypes&gt; &lt;/httpCompression&gt; &lt;urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>The server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5. I've also installed &amp; enabled Dynamic Compression for the site in question.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I do not wish to enable JSON compression for the entire server.</p>

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.

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