    <p>You had the correct approach with EditorTemplates, but keep in mind you need to populate the <code>CityDropDown</code>. So, the view should be handed off something like:</p> <pre><code>Person model = new Person() { Address = new Address { CityDropDown = new SelectListItem[]{ new SelectListItem { Selected = true, Text = "Select one..." }, new SelectListItem { Text = "Anywhere", Value = "Anywhere" }, new SelectListItem { Text = "Somewhere", Value = "Somewhere" }, new SelectListItem { Text = "Nowhere", Value = "Nowhere" } } } }; </code></pre> <p>Which would then make this view only consist of:</p> <pre><code>@Html.EditorForModel() </code></pre> <p>And then your <code>EditorTemplates</code> would pick up from there:</p> <p><strong>~/Views/shared/EditorTemplates/Address.cshtml</strong> (Note: this is based on <em>type</em> not property name)</p> <pre><code>@model MvcApplication.Models.Address @Html.DropDownListFor(x =&gt; x.City, Model.CityDropDown) @Html.EditorFor(x =&gt; x.Zip) </code></pre> <p><strong>~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/Person.cshtml</strong></p> <pre><code>@model MvcApplication.Models.Person @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.EditorFor(x =&gt; x.Name) @Html.EditorFor(x =&gt; x.Address) &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p>the three views then render something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="/" method="post"&gt; &lt;input class="text-box single-line" id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" /&gt; &lt;select id="Address_City" name="Address.City"&gt; &lt;option selected="selected"&gt;Select one...&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Anywhere"&gt;Anywhere&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Somewhere"&gt;Somewhere&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Nowhere"&gt;Nowhere&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input class="text-box single-line" id="Address_Zip" name="Address.Zip" type="text" value="" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Example project can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/bchristie/StackOverflow-Examples/tree/master/questions-19247958" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bchristie/StackOverflow-Examples/tree/master/questions-19247958</a></p>

    1. COIt's very generous of you to create a whole project as an answer, Thank you. In my case, I do in fact populate the CityDropDown as I should. The weird thing is that in the parent view while debugging, I can see that Model.Address is properly initialized and CityDropDown is populated, but when the cursor goes to the partial view, the Model is null. This doesn't happen in the project you made but only in mine.

    2. CO@K-SaMa: did you provide the `@model` directive in your EditorTemplate (for `Address`)?

    3. COyes of course, I'm now really lost as to what might be the problem exactly.

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).
