    <p>Every article found in the Internet on using ViewModels and utilizing Automapper gives the guidelines of the "Controller -> View" direction mapping. You take a domain model along with all Select Lists into one specialized ViewModel and pass it to the view. That's clear and fine.<br> The view has a form, and eventually we are in the POST action. Here all the Model Binders come to the scene along with <em>[obviously] another</em> View Model which is <em>[obviously] related</em> to the original ViewModel at least in the part of naming conventions for the sake of binding and validation.</p> <p><strong>How do you map it to your Domain Model?</strong></p> <p>Let it be an insert action, we could use the same Automapper. But what if it was an update action? We have to retrieve our Domain Entity from the Repository, update it's properties according to the values in the ViewModel and save to the Repository.</p> <p><strong>ADDENDUM 1 (9th of February 2010):</strong> Sometimes, assigning Model's properties is not enough. There should be taken some action against Domain Model according to the values of View Model. I.e., some methods should be called on Domain Model. Probably, there should be a kind of an Application Service layer which stands between Controller and Domain in order to process View Models...</p> <hr> <p><strong>How to organize this code and where to place it to achieve the following goals?</strong></p> <ul> <li>keep controllers thin</li> <li>honor SoC practice</li> <li>follow Domain-Driven Design principles</li> <li>be DRY</li> <li>to be continued ...</li> </ul>

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.
