In a recent project of mine I did it using HtmlHelper extensions and getting data from the ViewContext.RouteData.Values collection. So building off a simple extension like this: <pre><code>public static string OnClass(this HtmlHelper html, bool isOn) { if (isOn) return " class=\"on\""; return string.Empty; } </code></pre> You can build up any number of combinations, e.g. Just testing the current action: <pre><code>public static string OnClass(this HtmlHelper html, string action) { string currentAction = html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString(); return html.OnClass(currentAction.ToLower() == action.ToLower()); } </code></pre> Testing for a number of actions: <pre><code>public static string OnClass(this HtmlHelper html, string[] actions) { string currentAction = html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString(); foreach (string action in actions) { if (currentAction.ToLower() == action.ToLower()) return html.OnClass(true); } return string.Empty; } </code></pre> Testing for action and controller: <pre><code>public static string OnClass(this HtmlHelper html, string action, string controller) { string currentController = html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString(); if (currentController.ToLower() == controller.ToLower()) return html.OnClass(action); return string.Empty; } </code></pre> Etc, etc. Then you simply call it in your view(s) like so <pre><code><ul id="left-menu">  <li <%= Html.OnClass(something == somethingElse) %>>Blah</li>  <li <%= Html.OnClass("Index") %>>Blah</li>  <li <%= Html.OnClass(new string[] { "Index", "Details", "View" }) %>>Blah</li>  <li <%= Html.OnClass("Index", "Home") %>>Blah</li> </ul> </code></pre> Which ever way you look at it, HtmlHelper extensions are your friend! :-) HTHs Charles

2. COif (currentAction.ToLower() == action.ToLower()).. I think the proper way to compare strings is by using StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase

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.
