    <p>I am trying to create a WPF application in C# that is comprised of a grid with 8 cells, one for each object to be displayed to the user. This grid is part of a storyboard that will allow the user to flick through one grid to the next grid, which would be populated by another set of 8 objects. The problem is that this grid will be populated by objects from a folder on the user's computer and there is no way of knowing the exact type of object that will be loaded. Instead, the object will be: an image, .swf video, PDF, or Word document. </p> <p>I have two questions: 1. How can I handle the binding of an object of unknown type in the grid at runtime in both the XAML and source code? 2. How can I handle the binding for a flash object to this cell?</p> <p>If the objects were all the same type (just images), it wouldn't be so bad, but since it's not possible to know what each cell could contain until the program is run, I am not sure how to proceed. </p> <p>I have examined several sites that suggest methods of embedding flash in a C# WPF application, but that's only when it is known that a flash object will be loaded: <a href="http://hintdesk.com/c-wpf-play-swf-in-wpf-application/" rel="nofollow">http://hintdesk.com/c-wpf-play-swf-in-wpf-application/</a>.</p> <p>I also thought of loading objects of the Object class as a way of avoiding the issuing of hard coding an object type <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wpf/thread/ca76fc35-950c-4fac-bb30-534cb7ad1b5d" rel="nofollow">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wpf/thread/ca76fc35-950c-4fac-bb30-534cb7ad1b5d</a>, but apparently that's not possible since you wouldn't be able to access the properties. </p> <p>Any help would be appreciated! </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.
