    text
    <p>When I'm editting an <code>Animal</code> item, I'm seeing that the field for "ID" is populated with the value of the field "idAnimal". The animal model is retrieved from database (using EF) by the id passed as parameter. The parameter named "id" is the key named "idAnimal" in database.</p> <p>Debugging in the controller, the model has its values OK (ID = null, idAnimal = some int)... and debugging at the Razor view, I can see that using <code>@Model.ID</code> is null also... but once the view is rendered I see a value in the textbox. </p> <p>My model is as follows:</p> <pre><code>public class Animal { public int idAnimal {get; set;} //this is the id in database public int ID {get; set;} //this is the id given at birth to the animal, a business concept //The rest of the properties } </code></pre> <p>In my controller's EDIT action, I have:</p> <pre><code>public virtual ActionResult Edit(int id) { Animal myA = db.Animals.Find(id); return PartialView(myA) } </code></pre> <p>In the view I have:</p> <pre><code>@model MyApp.Model.Animal .... @Html.LabelForX(model =&gt; model.ID) &lt;div class="input"&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.ID, new { @class = "medium", size = 30 }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.ID) &lt;/div&gt; .... </code></pre> <p>The only thing that could be happening, being weird, is that the parameter named "id" (which holds the value in the field "idAnimal") could be interfering some how.</p> <p>Hope this all soup of id's is understandable :)</p>

    1. CODoes the problem go away if you change the name of ID to something else, like tag? I wonder if there's some weird keyword mapping in razor that puts ID to the identity field.

    2. COWell, I just changed teh parameter name in the action method and it worked... so indeed is some mapping issue. It is a known issue?

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).
