    <p>trying to grasp how to pass back the following data as a model to the controller. I want to consume the model and add everything to a database afterwards. When I submit the form back to the controller, the model is empty. Is it because every thing else is null? do I have to pass everything else back as hidden fields? How do I sort that all out on the View before getting to the controller?</p> <p>My controller basically deserializes an xml file that looks like this back to the view</p> <pre><code>&lt;category&gt; &lt;id&gt;1&lt;/id&gt; &lt;description&gt;movies&lt;/description&gt; &lt;genre&gt; &lt;genres&gt; &lt;id&gt;1&lt;/id&gt; &lt;name&gt;comedy&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;genres&gt; &lt;id&gt;2&lt;/id&gt; &lt;name&gt;action&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;genres&gt; &lt;id&gt;3&lt;/id&gt; &lt;name&gt;adventure&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;genres&gt; &lt;id&gt;4&lt;/id&gt; &lt;name&gt;drama&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;genres&gt; &lt;id&gt;5&lt;/id&gt; &lt;name&gt;romance&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;/genres&gt; &lt;/category&gt; </code></pre> <p>The view / form looks like this </p> <pre><code> &lt;form&gt; &lt;ul&gt; @for (int x = 0; x &lt; Model.categories[i].genres.Count(); x++) { &lt;li&gt; &lt;label for="@Model.categories[i].genres[x].name"&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="@Model.categories[i].genres[x].name" value="@Model.categories[i].genres[x].id" checked="@Model.categories[i].genres[x].selected" /&gt; @Model.categories[i].genres[x].name &lt;/label&gt; &lt;/li&gt; } &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/form&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.
