    <p>So i'm trying to employ the use of hyphens in my URLs for readability but so far haven't found a way to make it work with mvc4. </p> <p>I'll start with the code in the controller:</p> <pre><code>public ViewResult Index() { ViewBag.URL = Functions.fetchURL(); return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(LogonModel model, string returnUrl) { //omitted to save space return View(model); } public ActionResult Forgot_Login_Info() { return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Forgot_Login_Info(RetrievePasswordViewModel model) { //omitted to save space return View(); } </code></pre> <p>So I'm using underscores for the name of the actions as seen with "Forgot_Login_Info" and that is the name of the view as well. For testing I also manually created a view called "Forgot-Login-Info"</p> <p>In my global.asax.cs file i simply have this line for routes</p> <pre><code>RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); </code></pre> <p>which is the standard routing line with new projects for MVC4 and this is hooked to the "RouteConfig.cs" file and in that file here is the code I have, which I found in another question on this site.</p> <pre><code>public class RouteConfig { public class HyphenatedRouteHandler : MvcRouteHandler { protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) { requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().Replace("-","_"); requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().Replace("-", "_"); return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext); } } public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); routes.Add( new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}", new RouteValueDictionary( new { controller = "Default", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }), new HyphenatedRouteHandler()) ); } } </code></pre> <p>Lastly here is the code for the "Index" view, which is where I have a link to the "Forgot_Login_Info".</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="centerBlockItem" style="width:450px; text-align:center"&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Forgot Password?", "Forgot-Login-Info") @Html.ActionLink("Forgot Password?", "Forgot_Login_Info") &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now I have the link 2 ways, 1 using underscore and the other using hyphen. According to what i've read in regards to the code I found for this purpose, Both links should open the "Forgot_Login_Info" view and not the "Forgot-Login-Info" view. But what I'm getting instead is the 2nd link works fine and the action name matches the view files name. But when I click on the first link, I get a 404 error because the system can't find the "Forgot-Login-Info" view file, even though I had manually created a file with that name for testing. </p> <p>One more thing to note, the code in my routeconfig file, In the answer I had found it suggested I comment out the default route code lines and just leave:</p> <pre><code>routes.Add( new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}", new RouteValueDictionary( new { controller = "Default", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }), new HyphenatedRouteHandler()) ); </code></pre> <p>I had done this too and got the same results. Any ideas where I'm screwing things up?</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.
