    <p>I have a controller method in ASP.NET MVC that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult GetAlbumPictures(int albumId) { var album = AlbumRepo.GetSingle(albumId); var pictures = album.Pictures; return View(pictures); } </code></pre> <p>The routing for this method looks like this:</p> <pre><code>routes.MapRoute(null, "pictures" new { controller = "Album", action = "GetAlbumPictures" }); </code></pre> <p>The user will use the following URL to get the pictures, filtered by the album ID:</p> <pre><code>GET http://server/pictures?albumid=10 </code></pre> <p>However, I'd like to change the querystring parameter to just <code>album</code> instead of <code>albumid</code>:</p> <pre><code>GET http://server/pictures?album=10 </code></pre> <p>This would mean that the controller method needs to be modified to:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult GetPictures(int album) { ... } </code></pre> <p>However, this is not ideal because now the method has a parameter named <code>album</code>, which can be confused as an <code>Album</code> <strong>object</strong> instead of the <code>ID</code> of the <code>Album</code>.</p> <p>My question is, is there any way of configuring ASP.NET MVC so that in the routing, it will receive a querystring parameter called <code>album</code>, but then pass it off to the controller as the <code>albumId</code> parameter?</p> <p><strong>P.S.</strong> I know that I can do this in the routing table:</p> <pre><code>routes.MapRoute(null, "album/{albumId}/pictures", new { controller = "Album", action = "GetAlbumPictures" }); </code></pre> <p>But due to legacy issues, I have to make it work for the querystring method as well.</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.
