    <p>I've implemented a Web API.</p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="None" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm using Basic authorization, and set the Thread.CurrentPrincipal in my AuthorizeAttribute.</p> <p>The first time after starting/debugging the application, I submit a request, set the Thread.CurrentPrincipal (with IsAuthenticated = true) server-side, and IsAuthenticated returns true in my controller, as expected. Any request after this, however, sets the Thread.CurrentPrincipal as normal, but by time the execution hits my controller methods, the controllers' User.Identity property has been changed, and IsAuthenticated = false.</p> <p>I can't figure out why IsAuthenticated=true for the first time after starting the application only?! It should be every time, as I'm setting the Thread.CurrentPrinciple manually, but somewhere between there and hitting my controller, it is being replaced!</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>It's something to do with a MediaTypeFormatter that I've added. When I remove the formatter, I don't get the issue. The formatter's code that gets executed is below:</p> <pre><code>public override Task&lt;object&gt; ReadFromStreamAsync(Type type, System.IO.Stream webStream, System.Net.Http.HttpContent content, IFormatterLogger formatterLogger) { return Task.Factory.StartNew(() =&gt; { string temporaryFilePath = Path.Combine(TemporaryDirectory, Path.GetRandomFileName()); using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(temporaryFilePath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read)) { webStream.CopyTo(fileStream); } return (object)new CustomFile(temporaryFilePath); }); } </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.
