    <p>I'm experimenting with ASP.NET MVC and Routes.</p> <p>It appears MVC forces me to add a public method to the controller any time I want to create a view. For example: </p> <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } public ActionResult About() { return View(); } //... a public method for every view.. :( } </code></pre> <p>I do not want to create a public method for every view. By default, I want the behavior of "return View()" for all views in the system, unless otherwise specified.</p> <p>For example, HTTP GET:</p> <pre> site.com/about site.com/features site.com/ site.com/testimonials site.com/contact-us </pre> <p>As it stands now, I would have to add:</p> <pre><code>HomeController.About() HomeController.Features() HomeController.Index() HomeController.Testimonials() HomeController.ContactUs() </code></pre> <p>All result in "return View()". This is my problem, I am trying to eliminate creating public action methods for simple views.</p> <p>For views that require additional processing, like a Contact Us page on an HTTP POST to:</p> <pre> site.com/contact-us </pre> <p>I would like to specifically add a method in the controller to send an SMTP message.</p> <hr> <p>The following is a more concise example of what I am trying to do:</p> <pre><code>public class HomeController{ public ActionResult ShowBasicView(){ //HTTP GET: //site.com/about //site.com/features //site.com/ //site.com/testimonials //All URLs above map to this action return View(); } [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult ContactUs(FormCollection data){ //HTTP POST: //site.com/contact-us //POST URL maps here. SmtpClient.Send(new MailMessage()) //etc... return View() } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks, Brian</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
