Body
First, you must disambigute your methods by giving them two different names: <pre><code>public ActionResult DetailsGuid(Guid guid) { var model = Context.GetData(guid); return View(model); } public ActionResult DetailsString(string id) { var model = Context.GetData(id); return View(model); } </code></pre> Next, you need a custom route handler to inspect the request, and change the method name accordingly: <pre><code>using System.Web.Mvc; using System.Web.Routing; public class MyRouteHandler : IRouteHandler { public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) { var routeData = requestContext.RouteData; var stringValue = routeData.Values["id"].ToString(); Guid guidValue; var action = routeData.Values["action"]; if (Guid.TryParse(stringValue, out guidValue) && (guidValue != Guid.Empty); routeData.Values["action"] = action + "Guid"; else routeData.Values["action"] = action + "String"; var handler = new MvcHandler(requestContext); return handler; } } </code></pre> Finally, add a <code>Details</code> route at the top of your routes, as follows: <pre><code>routes.Add("Details", new Route("{controller}/Details/{id}", new RouteValueDictionary( new { controller = "Home", action = "Details" }), new MyRouteHandler() ) ); ); </code></pre> When a request comes in for details, the <code>Details</code> route will use your custom route handler to inspect the <code>id</code> token. The route handler adds to the action name based on the form of the id token, so that the request will be directed to the appropriate action.

Guidance

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.
