    <p>I'm not sure where your premise is coming from? It looks like an artificial example, which makes it hard to comment on.</p> <p>A better comparison would be something like:</p> <pre><code>http://MySite.com/Project/24/Members/Edit </code></pre> <p>As opposed to:</p> <pre><code>http://MySite.com/Projects.aspx?id=24&amp;section=Members&amp;action=Edit </code></pre> <p>Where, among other things, the hierarchy of entities is immediately obvious from the first example (ie, a Project contains Members). It also suggests that you can use other URLs that contain similar structures to the first (ie, <code>/Projects/24</code> and <code>/Projects/24/Members</code>), so in that sense it's more concise.</p> <p>If it comes down to actions that have a variable number of parameters, such as searching, then it's totally fine to use URL parameters as this will give you more flexibility, eg:</p> <pre><code>http://MySite.com/Projects/Search?name=KillerApp&amp;type=NET </code></pre> <p>You could construct a URL using the first style, but you don't really gain anything, and managing the route could add unnecessary overhead:</p> <pre><code>http://MySite.com/Projects/Search/name/KillerApp/type/NET </code></pre> <p>I would argue that this (or any similar construction, eg if you removed the param names) suffers from an artificial hierarchy - the action in this case is really Search, and everything else is just a parameter of the Search, so it's in the same hierarchy, not some "sub" hierarchy.</p>

    1. COIt's a real example. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1080415/custom-routing-rules-e-g-www-app-com-project-35-search-89-edit-89/1080467#1080467

    2. COWow - you're right - in so much as someone does want to construct their URLs like that anyway! I really think the poster doesn't want to do that though - unless I really misunderstand the domain. I don't get why a search would have an id. Or why it would be part of a particular project. Or why you'd want to edit it. But I'm probably missing something. In any case, I think your second suggestion on that topic is probably what they're looking for.

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).
