I have a model binding issue with an html helper I'm writing. I have declared a property on my Model to handle html attributes, In short; <pre><code>public IDictionary<string,object> HtmlAttributes { get; set; } </code></pre> I then render the following html as in <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ASPNETWireFormatForModelBindingToArraysListsCollectionsDictionaries.aspx" rel="nofollow" title="Scott Hanselman">Scott Hanselman's post</a>; <pre><code><input type="hidden" id="HtmlAttributes[0]_Key" name="HtmlAttributes[0].Key" value="align" /> <input type="hidden" id="HtmlAttributes[0]_Value" name="HtmlAttributes[0].Value" value="center" /> </code></pre> But on callback the DefaultModelBinder creates the value as a string array, such that the next time I render my html value; <pre><code>_attribute.Value.ToString() </code></pre> I get the following HTML; <pre><code><td align="System.String[]"></td> </code></pre> Which is obviously a default ToString representation of a string array. The value is the first element!! It seems the default model binder is confused about the value type parameter being declared as object for the Dictionary. I was sure I was following convention by declaring my htmlAttributes as <code>Dictionary<string,object></code>, as I observed in the Html Helpers source code. Am I missing something obvious here? EDIT: Just an update to give more info. The binding issue I'm seeing is as a result of an JQuery AJAX post <code>$.post</code> callback, where the data is being serialized using JQuery's .serialize(); On inspecting the data being sent, again all looks to be in order. <pre><code>HtmlAttributes%5B0%5D.Key=align&HtmlAttributes%5B0%5D.Value=center& ... </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.
