    <p>Okay so, i am totally new to MVC and I'm trying to wrap my head around a few of the concepts. I've created a small application...</p> <p>This application has a view for creating a new Individual record. The view is bound to a model <strong>ViewPage</strong>... And I have a associated <strong>IndividualController</strong> which has a <strong>New</strong> method...</p> <p>The <strong>New</strong> method of the IndividualController looks like this...</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult New() { var i = new Individual(); this.Title = "Create new individual..."; i.Id = Guid.NewGuid(); this.ViewData.Model = new Individual(); return View(); } </code></pre> <p>Now, the above all seems to be working. When the view loads I am able to retrieve the data from the Individual object. The issue comes into play when I try and save the data back through the controller...</p> <p>In my <strong>IndividualController</strong> I also have a <strong>Save</strong> method which accepts an incoming parameter of type <strong>Individual</strong>. The method looks like...</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Save(IndividualService.Individual Individual) { return RedirectToAction("New"); } </code></pre> <p>Now, on my view I wanted to use a standard html link/href to be used as the "Save" button so I defined an ActionLink like so...</p> <pre><code> &lt;%=Html.ActionLink("Save", "Save") %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Also, defined in my view I have created a single textbox to hold the first name as a test like so...</p> <pre><code> &lt;% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %&gt; &lt;%=Html.TextBox("FirstName", ViewData.Model.FirstName)%&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, if I put a break point in the <strong>Save</strong> method and click the "Save" link in my view the break point is hit within my controller. The issue is that the input parameter of the Save method is null; even if I type a value into the first name textbox...</p> <p>Obviously I am doing something completely wrong. Can someone set me straight...</p> <p>Thanks in advance...</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.
