    <p>I need to make a web application and I want to use MVC. However, my Model can't be one of the standard Models -- the data is not stored in a database but instead in an external application accessible only via a API. Since this is the first MVC application I've implemented I'm relying on examples to understand how to go about it. I can't find any examples of a non-DB based Model. An example of a custom Model would be fine too. Can anyone point me to such a beast? Maybe MVC is just to new and none exist.</p> <p>It seems like I might be able to get away with the DataSet Model, however I've not seen any examples of how to use this object. I expect an example of DataSet could help me also. (Maybe it is the same thing?)</p> <p>Please note: I've seen countless examples of custom bindings. This is NOT what I want. I need an example of a custom Model which is not tied to a specific database/table. </p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>I found a good example from MS located here:</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405231.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405231.aspx</a></p> <p>While this is the "answer" to my question, I don't really like it because it ties me to MS's view of the world. @Aaronaught, @jeroenh, and @tvanfosson give much better answers from a meta perspective of moving my understanding (and yours?) forward with respect to using MVC.</p> <p>I'm giving the check to @Aaronaught because he actually has example code (which I asked for.) Thanks all and feel free to add even better answers if you have one.</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.
