You do it by JOINing the two tables. How you do this depends on what database access technology you are using (aso.net, entity framework, nHibernate etc) so without knowing that we can't give specific advice.

I am using entity framework . private DatabaseContext db = new DatabaseContext();

// GET: UserRoles
public ActionResult Index()
{

return View(db.UserRoles.ToList());
}

Make sure you have a navigation property[^] set up on your UserRole entity. Then you simply need to Include the role, and use the navigation property to display the name.

Entity:

C#

public class UserRole
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public User User { get; set; }
    
    public int RoleId { get; set; }
    public Role Role { get; set; }
}

Controller:

C#

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(db.UserRoles.Include(ur => ur.User).Include(ur => ur.Role).ToList());
}

View:

Razor

@foreach (UserRole item in Model)
{
    <p>User @item.User.Name is in role @item.Role.Name</p>
}
