    <p>I'm having trouble with default model binding naming convention when there is a child property. For example:</p> <p>I have a ViewModel which looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>public class UserViewModel { public User BusinessObject { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>My User class has a property called "NetworkLogin"</p> <p>My View has something like this: &lt;%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.BusinessObject.NetworkLogin)%> &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.BusinessObject.NetworkLogin)%> Auto-Fill <br /></p> <p>And my controller, what I'd like to do, is</p> <pre><code> [HttpGet] public ActionResult UserIndex(string networkLogin) { } </code></pre> <p>The problem: The input parameter "networkLogin" is always null. This makes sense, because the actual parameter on the html element is name="BusinessObject.NetworkLogin" and id="BusinessObject_NetworkLogin". However, I don't know what parameter name I should use in my action method. I've tried "businessObject_NetworkLogin" and it doesn't work either.</p> <p>However, I have this workaround that does work, but I don't like it. I add this to my ViewModel:</p> <pre><code> public string NetworkLogin { get { if (BusinessObject == null) BusinessObject = new User(); return BusinessObject.NetworkLogin; } set { if (BusinessObject == null) BusinessObject = new User(); BusinessObject.NetworkLogin = value; } } </code></pre> <p>And my View page now says this instead. &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NetworkLogin)%></p> <p>Can someone tell me what the proper naming convention is for default model binding so that I don't have to employ the above workaround?</p> <p>Thank you!</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.
