    <p>You might want to check <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3367106/pulling-a-view-from-a-database-rather-than-a-file">Pulling a View from a database rather than a file</a> or <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/236972/using-virtualpathprovider-to-load-asp-net-mvc-views-from-dlls">Using VirtualPathProvider to load ASP.NET MVC views from DLLs</a></p> <p>Taking the code from my previous question on the subject.</p> <p>In your <code>FileExists()</code> method on the other page you replace the test code I have there with some db code that actually checks to see if the virtualPath has an entry in your database. Your database would look something like:</p> <pre><code>Views --tablename Path --view's virtual path SomeOtherValue </code></pre> <p>...and your call would then be something like</p> <pre><code>public class DbPathProvider : VirtualPathProvider { public DbPathProvider() : base() { } public override bool FileExists(string virtualPath) { Database db = new Database(); return db.Views.Any(w =&gt; w.Path == virtualPath); } public override VirtualFile GetFile(string virtualPath) { return new DbVirtualFile(virtualPath); } } </code></pre> <p>And now we modify the DbVirtualFile</p> <pre><code>public class DbVirtualFile : System.Web.Hosting.VirtualFile { public DbVirtualFile(string path) : base (path) { } public override System.IO.Stream Open() { Database db = new Database(); return new System.IO.MemoryStream( db.Views.Single(v =&gt; v.Path == this.VirtualPath)); } } </code></pre> <p>The virtualPath doesn't have to correspond to a real filesystem if you don't want it to. You can override the functionality by implementing these two classes.</p> <p>You can then register your new VirtualPathProvider in the global.asax like so</p> <pre><code>HostingEnvironment.RegisterVirtualPathProvider(new DbPathProvider()); </code></pre> <p>I hope this better answers your question.</p>

    1. COMaybe I'm missing something, but in the tutorial the solution points to (http://www.umbraworks.net/bl0g/rebuildall/2009/11/17/ASP_NET_MVC_and_virtual_views) the condition is to have an actual file on disk (/View/Pages/Test.aspx) and just supply the "filling." I'm looking for a solution that allows me to specify the entire page.

    3. COI'm working with an example right now that doesn't use a database. In FileExists I check for "/View/Home/Test.cshtml" (my virtual file) and in the Open method I return new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("<h1>Hi</h1>")); When I do this I get "Directory '[..]\View\Home' does not exist. Failed to start monitoring file changes." Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

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).
