    <p>Here's the situation. I've got a single action filter that I'm using in two different controllers. The action filter is defined as: </p> <pre><code>public class ValidSubmissionAttribute : FilterAttribute, IActionFilter { public void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) { } public void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { var controller = filterContext.Controller; var session = filterContext.HttpContext.Session; var isValid = controller.TempData["IsValid"]; if (isValid == null || !(bool)isValid) { SharedUtilities.LogOutUser(session, controller.ViewData.ModelState); filterContext.Result = SharedUtilities.GetThankYouRedirect(); } } } </code></pre> <p>When I invoke the Attribute in one controller, like this:</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult DoSomething(string button, Model data) { try { if (ModelState.IsValid) { TempData["IsValid"] = Request.Form["ValidRequest"] == Session.SessionID; Session["VerifyDoingSomethingData"] = data; return RedirectToAction("VerifyDoingSomething"); } } catch (Exception ex) { } } [ValidSubmission] public ActionResult VerifyDoingSomething() { ViewData.Model = Session["VerifyDoingSomethingData"]; return View("VerifyDoingSomething"); } </code></pre> <p>it functions as expected. However, when I call it from a different controller, like this:</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(string button, Model data) { try { if (ModelState.IsValid) { TempData["IsValid"] = Request.Form["ValidRequest"] == Session.SessionID; Session["ViewModel"] = data; return RedirectToAction("VerifyCancellation"); } } catch (Exception ex) { } } [ValidSubmission] public ActionResult VerifyCancellation() { ViewData.Model = Session["ViewModel"]; return View("VerifyCancellation"); } </code></pre> <p>the attribute doesn't run at all. My breakpoint in the OnActionExecuting method doesn't get hit.</p> <p>If I had to guess, I'd say there was some difference in the controllers or in the action methods, but they appear to be functionally similar. Any insights? Why would I be seeing such different behavior?</p>

    1. CODo you have any BaseController which is inherit in one controller and not in another and it's restricted this behavior.

    2. COUnfortunately, no. They are both inheriting from the same base controller.

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).
