    <p>We're using a FileStreamResult to provide video data to a Silverlight MediaElement based video player:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Preview(Guid id) { return new FileStreamResult( Services.AssetStore.GetStream(id, ContentType.Preview), "application/octet-stream"); } </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, the Silverlight video player downloads the entire video file before it starts playing. This behavior is expected as our <code>Preview</code> Action does not support downloading partial content.</p> <p>(side note: if the file is hosted in an IIS virtual directory we can start playback at any location in the video while it is still downloading. however for security and auditing reasons we can't provide a direct download link. so this is not an option.)</p> <p><strong>How can we improve the Controller Action to support partial HTTP content?</strong></p> <p>I assume we first have to inform the client that we support it (adding an "Accept-Ranges:bytes" header to a HEAD request), then we have to evaluate the HTTP "Range" header and stream the requested file range with a response code of 206. Will that work with ASP.NET MVC hosted on IIS6? Is there already some code available?</p> <p>Also see:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers" rel="noreferrer">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers</a></li> <li><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/anilkumargupta/archive/2009/04/29/downloadprogress-downloadprogressoffset-and-bufferprogress-of-the-mediaelement.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/anilkumargupta/archive/2009/04/29/downloadprogress-downloadprogressoffset-and-bufferprogress-of-the-mediaelement.aspx</a></li> <li><a href="http://benramsey.com/archives/206-partial-content-and-range-requests/" rel="noreferrer">http://benramsey.com/archives/206-partial-content-and-range-requests/</a></li> </ul>

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).
