    <p><br /> I am attempting to rewrite URL's from C#'s Pascal-case to SEO-friendly format. <br /> For example, I want something like <code>/User/Home/MyJumbledPageName</code> to look like this:</p> <pre><code>/user/home/my-jumbled-page-name // lower-case, and words separated by dashes </code></pre> <p><br /> Here is my method for converting each "token" in the URL:</p> <pre><code>public static string GetSEOFriendlyToken(string token) { StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0, len = token.Length; i &lt; len; i++) { if (i == 0) { // setting the first capital char to lower-case: str.Append(Char.ToLower(token[i])); } else if (Char.IsUpper(token[i])) { // setting any other capital char to lower-case, preceded by a dash: str.Append("-" + Char.ToLower(token[i])); } else { str.Append(token[i]); } } return str.ToString(); } </code></pre> <p><br /> ...and in my <code>RouteConfig.cs</code> file in the root, I have mapped these routes:</p> <pre><code>public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); // without this the first URL is blank: routes.MapRoute( name: "Default_Home", url: "index", // hard-coded?? it works... defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); routes.MapRoute( name: "Home", // the method calls here do not seem to have any effect: url: GetSEOFriendlyToken("{action}") + "/" + GetSEOFriendlyToken("{id}"), defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); } </code></pre> <p><br /> With this code, a URL such as <code>/AboutTheAuthor</code> is <strong>not</strong> converted to what I want, which would be <code>/about-the-author</code>. <br /><br /> It seems that my method call is ignored, what's happening here? And what's the conventional way to implement this? <br /></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.
