    <p>My beer model has a brewery object but I can't access the brewery's properties when I'm in the view. Intellisense seems to think I can access the brewery property but the DisplayFor method doesn't print anything.</p> <pre><code>@model BeerRecommender.Models.Beer @{ ViewBag.Title = "Details"; } &lt;h2&gt;@Html.DisplayFor(model =&gt; model.Name)&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Details&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;div class="display-label"&gt;Style: @Html.DisplayFor(model =&gt; model.Style.Name)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="display-label"&gt;Brewery: @Html.DisplayFor(model =&gt; model.Brewery.Name)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the Beer class:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; using BeerRecommender.Models.ViewModels; namespace BeerRecommender.Models { public class Beer { [Key] public int BeerID { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;City&gt; Cities { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;Tag&gt; Tags { get; set; } public Style Style { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public Brewery Brewery { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>...and here is the Brewery class:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; namespace BeerRecommender.Models { public class Brewery { [Key] public int BreweryID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;Beer&gt; Beers { get; set; } public City City { get; set; } } } </code></pre>

    1. COSilly question, but are you sure that the Brewery property is actually being set in the Beer? That's the only reason I can see for it not to display.

    2. COYou are right. When I look at the autos after beer is initialized in the details method of the beerscontroller, only the string fields are initialized. The Statement reads "Beer beer = context.Beers.find(id);" I think I need some other LINQ code to include the other properties. I'm not sure where and how to use the LINQ code Adam has suggested.

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.

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).
