How do you link from one group to onather in aspnet mvc

Question

i am new to aspnet mvc, and I have just completed the nerddinner tutorial.

What I am wonting to do is have it so the user would land on the home page, the home page should show five professions, painters, builders, electricians, plasters and roofers.

Then I wont those five categories to be links, and when you click them, they take you to a sub group that shows every company with in that category, so id I clicked on builders, it would take me to a page that shows all tradesmen that are builders.

Thanks.

For each profession on your home view, you'd generate a link like this:

<% For Each profession In Model %>
  <%=Html.ActionLink("Index", "Profession", profession.ID) %>
<% Next %>

This link will take you to the Index view of the Profession controller. Your profession controller would then obviously take in the ID of the profession and render the view of the list of the sub group.
