    <p>First of all, passing a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.formcollection%28v=vs.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">FormCollection</a> is basicly wrong. The <code>FormCollection</code> is used to iterate through all post-values of a form.</p> <p>I think your understanding of the basic approach of MVC is wrong. What you are trying to achive is editing a file. So your model should be a class called <code>FileModel</code>. The controller should look like this:</p> <pre><code>[HttpGet] public ActionResult Index() { return View("Index", new FileModel()); } </code></pre> <p>This provides a view, bound to a new instance of <code>FileModel</code>. In the next step you want to select the file name of the file you want to edit. This means, your <code>FileModel</code> will get an property, called <code>FileName</code>, which get's assigned in the next step.</p> <pre><code>public class FileModel { [Required] public string FileName { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>We now have the <em>model</em> and the <em>controller</em>. Whats missing is the <em>view</em> part. This is the part that's actually responsible for user interaction. How to select a file is not the responsibility of the controller, so building up your drop-down should be done from the view. In my opinion the controller shouldn't even know that a drop-down is used to select a file name.</p> <pre><code>@model FileModel @using (Html.BeginForm()) { &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.FileName) @Html.DropDownListFor(m =&gt; m.FileName) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m =&gt; m.FileName) &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Edit file" /&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; } </code></pre> <p><code>DropDownListFor</code> simply tells the view, that the editor template for <code>FileName</code> is not a simple text box, but a drop-down. Now the last step is to fill in the options for the drop-down. Therefore we can use an overload of <code>DropDownListFor</code>.</p> <pre><code>@Html.DropDownListFor(m =&gt; m.FileName, new SelectList(Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Something\")) </code></pre> <p>Now you should be able to select a file from your directory. This selection can be read in the controller from the post method:</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(FileModel model) { var selectedFileName = model.FileName; } </code></pre>

    2. COJust take a look at [SelectList](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.selectlist%28v=vs.108%29.aspx). It has an alternative constructor that accepts two strings, one identifying the key and the other representing the value. You can use the file paths as keys and the names values.

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.
