    <p>I'm generating my data contract with a command line like:</p> <pre><code>svcutil /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 MySchema.xsd </code></pre> <p>In my generated code, I end up with something like this (let's call this "style 1"):</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>partial class A : object, System.Runtime.Serialization.IExtensibleDataObject { private BType collectionB; public BType CollectionOfB { get { return collectionB; } set { collectionB = value } } [System.Runtime.Serialization.CollectionDataContractAttribute(...)] public class BType : System.Collections.Generic.List&lt;B&gt; { } } </code></pre> <p>Why does it not generate like this (style 2)?:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>partial class A : object, System.Runtime.Serialization.IExtensibleDataObject { private System.Collections.Generic.List&lt;B&gt; collectionB; public System.Collections.Generic.List&lt;B&gt; CollectionOfB { get { return collectionB; } set { collectionB = value } } } </code></pre> <p>From the perspective of consuming the code, the end results of both appear identical. Is the only reason for style 1 to enable serialization (the documentation for CollectionDataContractAttribute indicates that it applies to class or struct)? They are internal classes, and this is 100% generated code, so I can just ignore the implementation details, but it bothers me a little bit (plus I've got those "Nested Types" showing up in my class diagram).</p> <p>Okay, so it bothers me a lot that is isn't possible to apply an attribute to the property to tell it how to serialize.</p>

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.
