    <p>While the @Html.Actionlink() helper is very convenient for building <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> elements in the .cshtml files, is it possible to construct them inside C# strings, such that they are subsequently rendered correctly in the HTML output?</p> <p>For example, if I assign a string variable a value similar to the following:</p> <pre><code>Book.ReadMore = "Click @Html.ActionLink(\"this link\", \"About\", \"Home\") to read more."; </code></pre> <p>And then I try to display it (the literal text plus the link) through my .cshtml page, using code similar to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;@Model.ReadMore&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>All I get in the browser is the whole string exactly as I typed it, including the @Html... etc:</p> <pre><code>Click @Html.ActionLink("this link", "About", "Home") to read more. </code></pre> <p>Now, for proper SoC, I know that it's not the best of practices to have HTML stuff included in C# code, but is it at all possible to get the proper <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> link in this scenario, instead of the string itself?</p> <p><strong>EDIT: More information</strong> - This string is just one item in a collection of about 20-30 strings (displayed using a <code>for loop</code> in the View). Only a small handful of those items need a link (which is different in each case). Since, as mentioned above, I agree that it's obviously not good practice to use Razor/HTML in Model code, I'm trying to get a simple approach (if possible) which would give me the flexibility of building the link somewhere at the right place, while still yielding the maintainability of MVC SoC.</p> <p>There must be a "right" way of doing this, which is simple yet maintainable.</p>

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.
