In webforms, the first page load is distinguished by using IsPostback property and server controls are basically initialized with data or initial values in Page_Load event. These initial settings are persisted on subsequent post back events for the page. As you may already know, all this is accomplished by viewstate which is basically a hidden variable that contains state of all server controls on the page and gets posted back for each postback event. MVC doesn't have this mechanism and is completely stateless i.e, we need to manually assign values of controls for each request. For ex: In Web forms ASPX page: <pre><code><asp:TextBox id="txtName" runat="server"/> <asp:Button id="btnSubmit" Text="submit" onclick = "btnSubmit_click" /> </code></pre> Code behind <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if(!IsPostback) { txtName.Text = "test1"; } } protected void btnSubmit_click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //some code } </code></pre> Enter a value and click on submit button, the value gets persisted event after postback due to viewstate. In MVC View <pre><code>@using(Html.BeginForm()){ <input id="Name" type="text" name="Name"/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /> } </code></pre> Controller <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(FormCollection values) { return View(); } </code></pre> Enter a value and click on submit button, the value is not persisted across postback since there is no such persistence mechanism. So we need to achieve it manually View <pre><code>@using(Html.BeginForm()){ <input id="Name" type="text" name="Name" value="@ViewBag.Name"/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /> } </code></pre> Controller <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(FormCollection values) { ViewBag.Name = values["name"]; return View(); } </code></pre> Note: I have used ViewBag only to show an example, ideally we need to pass viewmodel from controller. Additional Inputs Apart from its role of persisting state, ViewState can also be used to store values, say for ex: ViewState["test"] = objectoranyothervalue. In MVC, there are other techniques for state management like ViewBag, ViewData and TempData but difference is they don't get posted back to server like ViewState. They are used to just pass data from controller to view.

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.
