    text
    <p>I have set up a <code>VirtualPathProvider</code> and it is working fine for direct url calls like <code>http://.../home/index</code> in the address bar.</p> <pre><code>public class HomeController { public ActionResult Index() { // This triggers MyVirtualPathProvider functionallity when called via // the browsers address bar or anchor tag click for that matter. // But it does not trigger MyVirtualPathProvider for 'in-view' calls like // @{ Html.RenderAction("index", "home"); } return View(); } } public class MyVirtualPathProvider : VirtualPathProvider { public override System.Web.Hosting.VirtualFile GetFile(string virtualPath) { // This method gets hit after the Controller call for return View(...); if (MyCondition) return MyVirtualFileHandler.Get(virtualPath); return base.GetFile(virtualPath); } public override bool FileExists(string virtualPath) { // This method gets hit after the Controller call for return View(...); if (MyCondition) return true; return base.FileExists(virtualPath); } } </code></pre> <p>However, I would like this to work for the Html helper too, but right now it is ignoring the <code>VirtualPathProvider</code> for the html helper calls in the view:</p> <pre><code>@{ Html.RenderAction("index", "home"); } </code></pre> <p>Is there a way to solve this problem?</p> <p>In addtion I have an override for the WebViewPage so I would be able to override the initialization for helpers, but I haven't got a clue with what or how.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>I have tried this at two computers and, oddly enough, it works on another computer. So the question would actually become:</p> <p>Why does the VirtualPathProvider works on one and fails for 50% on another computer? But then this question would then become somewhat to vague, speculative even. Nonetheless I am not happy with this but it seems I would have to reinstall some things. :(</p>

    1. COWhat do you mean? The child view does go to the custom `VirtualPathProvider` in my test. Here is my [test project](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14576915/VirtualPath.zip). If you look at the Output tab in VS, you should see `GetFile /Views/Home/Child.cshtml` being logged on the first request

    2. CO@LostInComputer Your project works indeed, I am going to determine whether my projects uses different assemblies. It could also be a package difference. Otherwise my project might be messed up. With me it just doesn't work for Html.RenderAction. I will look into it. Thanks for your example project.

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.
