Body
The way your controller is set up is strange to me, but let's dive into it: <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(LogonModel model, string returnUrl) //changed { ReturnUrl = returnUrl; //changed if (ModelState.IsValid) { if (UserRepository.validLogin(model.Username, model.Password)) { UserLogRepository.createLogEntry("Log On", string.Format("{0} has logged on to the Staff Portal.", model.Username, "Entry/Exit"); //changed if (ReturnUrl.Length > 1) //this should use IsLocalUrl { return Redirect(Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]); } else { return RedirectToAction("Dashboard", "Home"); } } else { ModelState.AddModelError("", Session["Error"].ToString()); } } // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form return View(model); } </code></pre> A few things: <ol> <li>Your <code>returnUrl</code> needs to be checked to make sure it's a Local URL. There are a number of ways of doing this, and since you're using ASP.NET MVC 3, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.urlhelper.islocalurl%28v=vs.98%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">it's built in</a>.</li> <li>Why are you pulling the ReturnUrl out of the querystring when (if you've set up your view correctly), it's already passed in?</li> </ol> Do you have the following in your view? <pre><code><%= Html.Hidden("returnUrl", Url.Encode(Url.Action("ActionToRedirectTo", "ControllerName", new { id = Model.Whatever}))) %> </code></pre> If so, when it posts, it will automatically get sent to the <code>Index</code> Action as the <code>returnUrl</code> parameter. I'm betting since it's not working, you aren't actually sending the ReturnUrl back correctly, check what I said about the view. Oh, and make sure you're URL encoding the <code>ReturnUrl</code>. Also, since it's a <code>HttpPost</code>, the querystring wouldn't have the return Url in it.

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.
