    <p>How do I populate a navigation property with specific value?</p> <p>I have 3 models, Game, UserTeam, User, defined below. I have a razor view which uses the model IEnumerable. This view loops over the Games, and within that loop, loops over the UserTeams. So far, so good.</p> <p>Within the UserTeam loop, I want to access the User properties, but they are null. How do I populate the User navigation property for each UserTeam object? Do I need a constructor with a parameter in the UserTeam model?</p> <p>Models</p> <pre><code>public class Game { public Game() { UserTeams = new HashSet&lt;UserTeam&gt;(); } public int Id { get; set; } public int CreatorId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public int CurrentOrderPosition { get; set; } public virtual UserProfile Creator { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;UserTeam&gt; UserTeams { get; set; } } public class UserTeam { public UserTeam() { User = new UserProfile(); } public int Id { get; set; } public int UserId { get; set; } public int GameId { get; set; } public int OrderPosition { get; set; } public virtual UserProfile User { get; set; } public virtual Game Game { get; set; } public virtual IList&lt;UserTeam_Player&gt; UserTeam_Players { get; set; } } public class UserProfile { [Key] [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)] public int UserId { get; set; } public string UserName { get; set; } public string test { get; set; } public UserProfile() { UserTeams = new HashSet&lt;UserTeam&gt;(); } public virtual ICollection&lt;UserTeam&gt; UserTeams { get; set; } [ForeignKey("CreatorId")] public virtual ICollection&lt;Game&gt; Games { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Loop in my Razor view (Model is IEnumerable)</p> <pre><code>@foreach (var item in Model) { @foreach (var userteam in item.UserTeams) { @Html.ActionLink("Join game as"+userteam.User.UserName, "JoinGame", new { gameid = item.Id, userid=userteam.UserId }) } } </code></pre> <p>Method in my repository that returns the Games</p> <pre><code>public IEnumerable&lt;Game&gt; GetAllGames() { using (DataContext) { var gm = DataContext.Games.Include("UserTeams").ToList(); return gm; } } </code></pre>

    1. COThewads answer combined with @Slaumas comment solved the problem. Question remains though as to why instantiating the UserTeams in the Game constructor doesn't cause the same problem as instantiating the User in the UserTeam constructor

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).
