    <p>Im not sure if the title fully explains what I am after here so let me try explain in a little more detail...</p> <p>I need to be able to create an table that displays this...</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CTs9J.png" alt="Dates Examples"> <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CTs9J.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Enlarge Image</a></p> <p>Tables:</p> <ol> <li>Items (every time this item was installed and removed)</li> <li>Supplier (Every time the supplier was used with the item)</li> <li>Rate (rate for the supplier)</li> </ol> <p>It needs to be able to:</p> <ol> <li>Get the ranges in the period selected</li> <li>Get the earliest date from the tables as the start date</li> <li>Get the latest date</li> </ol> <p>If the start dates are all before the start period and all the end dates are after the end period then it will be a simple single line. But any dates that start or end in the middle of the period then set relevant dates for that line and get the next start date after previous line end.</p> <p>I have done the entire program using Linq apart from this and I have something that looks like it works but Im really not happy with the way Iv done it.</p> <p>My questions are... whats an elegant way of dealing with these dates? And should I be using C# or SQL Server for best result?</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.
