    <p>This can be achieved through overriding CreateModel(...). I will demonstrate that with an example.</p> <p><strong>1. Lets create a model and some base and child classes</strong>.</p> <pre><code>public class MyModel { public MyBaseClass BaseClass { get; set; } } public abstract class MyBaseClass { public virtual string MyName { get { return "MyBaseClass"; } } } public class MyDerievedClass : MyBaseClass { public int MyProperty { get; set; } public override string MyName { get { return "MyDerievedClass"; } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>2. Now create a modelbinder and override CreateModel</strong></p> <pre><code>public class MyModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder { protected override object CreateModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext, Type modelType) { /// MyBaseClass and MyDerievedClass are hardcoded. /// We can use reflection to read the assembly and get concrete types of any base type if (modelType.Equals(typeof(MyBaseClass))) { Type instantiationType = typeof(MyDerievedClass); var obj=Activator.CreateInstance(instantiationType); bindingContext.ModelMetadata = ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, instantiationType); bindingContext.ModelMetadata.Model = obj; return obj; } return base.CreateModel(controllerContext, bindingContext, modelType); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>3. Now in the controller create get and post action.</strong></p> <pre><code>[HttpGet] public ActionResult Index() { ViewBag.Message = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!"; MyModel model = new MyModel(); model.BaseClass = new MyDerievedClass(); return View(model); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(MyModel model) { return View(model); } </code></pre> <p><strong>4. Now Set MyModelBinder as Default ModelBinder in global.asax</strong> This is done to set a default model binder for all actions, for a single action we can use ModelBinder attribute in action parameters)</p> <pre><code>protected void Application_Start() { AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); ModelBinders.Binders.DefaultBinder = new MyModelBinder(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } </code></pre> <p><strong>5. Now we can create view of type MyModel and a partial view of type MyDerievedClass</strong></p> <p><strong>Index.cshtml</strong></p> <pre><code>@model MvcApplication2.Models.MyModel @{ ViewBag.Title = "Index"; Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; } &lt;h2&gt;Index&lt;/h2&gt; @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true) &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;MyModel&lt;/legend&gt; @Html.EditorFor(m=&gt;m.BaseClass,"DerievedView") &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Create" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; } </code></pre> <p><strong>DerievedView.cshtml</strong></p> <pre><code>@model MvcApplication2.Models.MyDerievedClass @Html.ValidationSummary(true) &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;MyDerievedClass&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Now it will work as expected, Controller will receive an Object of type "MyDerievedClass". Validations will happen as expected.</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7u727.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COPerfect, setting the ModelMetaData and Model in create was the missing piece, thanks!

    2. COI had a very similar issue with an inherited and derived type and the above model binder code did the trick. Cheers!

    3. COThanks! I spend almost three days trying different thing to finally resort to this solution, although my problem was somewhat different.

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).
