    <p>I believe that it does work as described in the tutorial - I just went through that tutorial right now and got the expected result (it did scaffold a "Category" column and drop-down list). </p> <p>My best guess about why it didn't work in your case is that perhaps you missed the <code>CategoryID</code> property from the <code>Product</code> class, or maybe you called it something else. For scaffolding to detect the FK relationship, it's necessary for your entity to have both a "navigation" property (in this case, <code>Category</code>, of type <code>Category</code>) and a "foreign key" property (in this case <code>CategoryID</code> of type <code>int</code>) - without those it won't infer the relationship and hence you wouldn't get the dropdown.</p> <p>In case it helps, here's the full code for the model classes that you can copy and paste into your project:</p> <pre><code>public class Product { public int ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public int CategoryID { get; set; } public decimal? UnitPrice { get; set; } public int UnitsInStock { get; set; } public virtual Category Category { get; set; } } public class Category { public int CategoryID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;Product&gt; Products { get; set; } } public class StoreContext : DbContext { public DbSet&lt;Product&gt; Products { get; set; } public DbSet&lt;Category&gt; Categories { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Remember to compile your code before using the "Add Controller" window, otherwise it will not realise that you've changed the code.</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.

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).
