    <p>I'm new to MVC, so please bear with me. :-)</p> <p>I've got a strongly typed "Story" View. This View (story) can have Comments. </p> <p>I've created two Views (not partials) for my Comments controller "ListStoryComments" and "CreateStoryComment", which do what their names imply. These Views are included in the Story View using RenderAction, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- List comments --&gt; &lt;h2&gt;All Comments&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;% Html.RenderAction("ListStoryComments", "Comments", new { id = Model.Story.Id }); %&gt; &lt;!-- Create new comment --&gt; &lt;% Html.RenderAction("CreateStoryComment", "Comments", new { id = Model.Story.Id }); %&gt; </code></pre> <p>(I pass in the Story id in order to list related comments).</p> <p>All works as I hoped, except, when I post a new comment using the form, it returns the current (parent) View, but the Comments form field is still showing the last content I typed in and the ListStoryComments View isn’t updated to show the new story.</p> <p>Basically, the page is being loaded from cache, as if I had pressed the browser’s back button. If I press f5 it will try to repost the form. If I reload the page manually (reenter the URL in the browser's address bar), and then press f5, I will see my new content and the empty form field, which is my desired result.</p> <p>For completeness, my CreateStoryComment action looks like this:</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult CreateStoryComment([Bind(Exclude = "Id, Timestamp, ByUserId, ForUserId")]Comment commentToCreate) { try { commentToCreate.ByUserId = userGuid; commentToCreate.ForUserId = userGuid; commentToCreate.StoryId = 2; // hard-coded for testing _repository.CreateComment(commentToCreate); return View(); } catch { return View(); } } </code></pre>

    1. COI was just watching another MVC video by Phil Haack and he mentions the "PRG" pattern (Post, Redirect, Get), which should, I think, fix this issue. However, if I try something like 'return RedirectToAction("Index");' I get the error that "Child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions. ", so I'm still stumped.

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).
