Simple C# MVC CRUD app, using EF5, and SQL '08.

[th3knick]

I am working on a test application for a job interview (I'm fresh out of school and applying for a Jr. Dev role) and it is a very simple app (supposed to be). I have 2 controllers, one for "Products" and one for "ProductNotes", both from tables in my db. I have the "Product" controller as the shared layout so when i run the app the "Product" view opens and displays the table with data from the table. I have added a button to that view which i need to redirect to the "ProductNotes" view, but so far I have not been successful. I am using razor syntax. See code below. If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would be grateful as I need to submit this today. Thanks!
