    <p>I need to port the functionality of this <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/multicolumncombo/defaultcs.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">one and only one AJAX control</a> to MVC, but given the poor selection of MVC controls out there, I think I need to bring this legacy control into the MVC world... </p> <p>I'd rather not taint my MVC project with ASP.NET controls, and welcome json/MVC alternatives you know of. (post them if you know of any)</p> <p><strong>Sample UI that I need in ASP.NET MVC</strong> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/N8SXj.png" alt="Combo sample"></p> <p><strong>Back to porting</strong></p> <p>Although it's unfortunate that I am left to porting this control to MVC, it seems to be a widely accepted practice since Telerik has <a href="http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/mvc-getting-started.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">detailed instructions</a> on <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/Common/QSFInstructions/Instructions.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">how do this</a>. </p> <p>That makes me ask:</p> <blockquote> <p>How common is it for a MVC website to use ASP.NET controls?</p> </blockquote> <p>Again I'll mention I don't want to do this so I welcome MVC-specific alternatives. That being said, I'll proceed with trying to merge that control with my existing site. <code>&lt;/End Disclaimer&gt;</code></p> <p>If you <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/multicolumncombo/defaultcs.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">click on this hyperlink</a>, and look at the source code at the bottom, can you tell me where I should put the following in MVC?</p> <ol> <li><p>Code behind (My first instinct is to use a Controller but <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/680448/328397">another SO question</a> indicates I should create a create a ViewName.aspx.cs file)</p></li> <li><p>How do I port the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dz12d98w%28v=VS.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SQLDataSource</a> to the new "Model" way of thinking. I know they are different in nature but I don't know how to present data to a ASP.NET control in a way that it will consume the information. </p></li> <li><p>How do I handle the AJAX component? This control has an AJAX component using callbacks. Yes this is getting ugly, but it seems like I have to do this.</p></li> <li><p>Apparently this model saves data in session or view-state. I have no idea if this even work in MVC. Guidance, an alternate control, or a life preserver is much appreciated.</p></li> </ol> <p>I've already done research and have <a href="http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/mvc-getting-started.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions from Telerik here</a> <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/Common/QSFInstructions/Instructions.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">and here</a> that describes how to get started with placing a simple menu, but I need a little assistance with the more complex controls like this one.</p> <blockquote> <p>Note: For all the commentary that has hit this question, please remember that I only want <strong>this one</strong> ASP.NET control functionality; I can't find a comparable control in MVC. </p> </blockquote>

    1. COWhy so many down votes? Is it such a bad idea to reuse one and only ASP.NET usercontrol within MVC? I'll appreciate any constructive feedback, but so far this isn't more constructive than what I'm doing with www.asp.net/learn

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).
