    <p>I would start with adding three models: A, B and C. In these models, A contains a List of B's and B contains a List of C's. For testing purposes, I would also add something to uniquely identify them, such as a Name. Example:</p> <pre><code>public class A { public string Name { get; set; } public List&lt;B&gt; Bs { get; set; } } public class B { public string Name { get; set; } public List&lt;C&gt; Cs { get; set; } } public class C { public string Name { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>In my controller, I would add an action method that fills these models with data. For testing purposes, I'm using dummy data.</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult List() { C c1 = new C() { Name = "C1" }; C c2 = new C() { Name = "C2" }; C c3 = new C() { Name = "C3" }; C c4 = new C() { Name = "C4" }; B b1 = new B() { Name = "B1", Cs = new List&lt;C&gt;() { c1, c3 } }; B b2 = new B() { Name = "B2", Cs = new List&lt;C&gt;() { c2, c4 } }; B b3 = new B() { Name = "B3", Cs = new List&lt;C&gt;() { c1, c2, c4 } }; B b4 = new B() { Name = "B4", Cs = new List&lt;C&gt;() { c1, c2, c3, c4 } }; A a1 = new A() { Name = "A1", Bs = new List&lt;B&gt;() { b1, b2 } }; A a2 = new A() { Name = "A2", Bs = new List&lt;B&gt;() { b3, b4 } }; A a3 = new A() { Name = "A3", Bs = new List&lt;B&gt;() { b1, b2, b3, b4 } }; List&lt;A&gt; listOfAs = new List&lt;A&gt;() { a1, a2, a3 }; return View(listOfAs); } </code></pre> <p>And for the final piece, the view to display all of this. Simply using @foreach in a nested manner gives us what we need:</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;HelloMvc.Models.A&gt; &lt;h2&gt;List of As&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; @foreach (var a in Model) { &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; @a.Name&lt;br /&gt; @foreach (var b in a.Bs) { @b.Name&lt;br /&gt; foreach (var c in b.Cs) { @c.Name&lt;br /&gt; } } &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; } </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Note that the "HelloMvc" is my namespace. You probably need to change this to your own namespace.</p> <p>Everything put together, this results in a list of A's with nested B's and C's:</p> <pre><code>A1 B1 C1 C3 B2 C2 C4 A2 B3 C1 C2 C4 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 A3 B1 C1 C3 B2 C2 C4 B3 C1 C2 C4 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 </code></pre> <p>(You'll have to imagine some styling.) Hope this example helps you.</p> <p>(sidenote) Funny how that third foreach doesn't have a '@' in front of it. It's not a typo or an error, if I put it there, an exception is raised. Small bug in the Razor view engine, I suspect.</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).
