    <p>I have a simple MVC app which gets data from a database table and displays it in the an html table. When I tried to use Server Side processing, the data is returned, but it shows in the browser instead of my table.</p> <p>Here is the script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function () { $('#patients').dataTable({ "bServerSide":true, "bProcessing":true, "sAjaxSource": '@Url.Action("Index","Patient")', "bJQueryUI": true, "sPaginationType": "full_numbers" }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the html table:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table width="100%" id="patients"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;First Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Last Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my controller action method:</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Index() { List&lt;Patient&gt; patients = new List&lt;Patient&gt;(); using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Server=server;Database=db;Trusted_Connection=True")) { conn.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT FirstName,LastName FROM Patient",conn)) { SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()) { patients.Add(new Patient { FirstName = reader["FirstName"].ToString(), LastName = reader["LastName"].ToString() }); } } } return Json(new { aaData = patients.Select(x=&gt; new[] {x.FirstName,x.LastName}) },JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); } } </code></pre> <p>Here is the JSON that shows in the broswer:</p> <pre><code>{"aaData":[["Tom","Jones"],["Jerry","Jones"],["Jack","Roberts"],["Harry","Truman"],["Bill","Clinton"],["Barrack","Obama"],["George","Bush"],["Ed","Lee"],["Michael","Jordan"],["James","Caan"],["Rick","Reilly"],["Johhny","B.Goode"]]} &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET MVC Application&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link href="~/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /&gt; &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /&gt; @Styles.Render("~/Content/css") @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr") &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;header&gt; &lt;div class="content-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="float-left"&gt; &lt;p class="site-title"&gt;@Html.ActionLink("your logo here", "Index", "Home")&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="float-right"&gt; &lt;section id="login"&gt; @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial") &lt;/section&gt; &lt;nav&gt; &lt;ul id="menu"&gt; &lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("Patients","Index","Patient")&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/nav&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/header&gt; &lt;div id="body"&gt; @RenderSection("featured", required: false) &lt;section class="content-wrapper main-content clear-fix"&gt; @RenderBody() &lt;/section&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;footer&gt; &lt;div class="content-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="float-left"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;copy; @DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET MVC Application&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/footer&gt; @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery") @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/table") @RenderSection("scripts", required: false) &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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