    <p>I have been fiddling with MVC for quite some time now and I'm interested in creating a mini-application that records all cd-contents under one cd. My main hurdle for now is how can I pass on a list of Contents to a Cd.class along with other property values?</p> <pre><code>public class Cd { public int CdId { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;Content&gt; Contents { get; set; } } public class Content { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string ContentType { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>View:</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ url: '/cd/addCd', type: 'POST', data:$('form').serialize() }); @using(Html.BeginForm()){ @Html.LabelFor(x=&gt;x.CdId) @Html.TextBoxFor(x=&gt;x.CdId) &lt;br/&gt; @Html.LabelFor(x=&gt;x.Description) @Html.TextBoxFor(x=&gt;x.Description)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Please do note that the CdId and Description values are already passed on by the Serialize function of ajax - only the Contents property is the one I'm having trouble grasping the idea</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I solved my query by creating an ajax snippet that sends the serialized data to the controller:</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'http://localhost:54004/Cd/AddCd', data: JSON.stringify(formData), contentType:'application/json;charset=utf-8' }) .success(function () { }) </code></pre> <p><strong>With the following formData obj:</strong></p> <pre><code> var formData = { 'Description': "Learning Visual Studio 2012", 'CdId': 1, 'Contents': [{ "Id": 1, "Name": "Video #1", "ContentType": "Mp4" }, { "Id": 2, "Name": "Video #2", "ContentType": "Mp4" }] }; </code></pre> <p>Now the controller is now receiving the full set of Cd entity value along with its Content. Hope this could serve useful to someone in the future.</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
