Change the code so it gets all if id = 0 or null or something?

change your code from var category = _db.Categories.Find(categoryId); to var category = _db.Categories.ToList();

if you have a external key in the database,
when you created the model you should have (inside your Category class) a virtual list to the Entries

then your code should be like that

C#

public ActionResult Index([Bind(Prefix = "Id")] int categoryId)
      {
          var category = _db.Categories.Find(categoryId);
          if (category != null)
          {
              return View(category.Entries);
          }

          return HttpNotFound();
      }

otherwise you should filter your entries like that

C#

public ActionResult Index([Bind(Prefix = &quot;Id&quot;)] int categoryId)
      {
          var category = _db.Categories.Find(categoryId);
          if (category != null)
          {
              var entries = _db.Entries.Where(e=>e.CategoryId == categoryId).ToList();
              return View(entries);
          }

          return HttpNotFound();
      }

i'm not sure if i understood correctly what you need, please tell me if i misunderstood
