    <p>I have to say I don't agree with croutle, creating good UI does not necessarily have anything to do with coding. <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/15/40-helpful-resources-on-user-interface-design-patterns/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SmashingMagazine</a> has a large catalog of resources for UI design, and while most of those are very webcentric the general prinicple still apply no matter if you put your UI together in the Forms editor through coding or on a webpage.</p> <p>For me GUI designers have always been a way to keep presentation separate from content, a good implementation of a GUI with it's Designer will support that, if you start having to write a lot of code to affect simple effects in the UI that line starts to blur. Interface Builder on Mac does this the best of all the ones I have used (amongst others Java Swing, Windows Forms).</p> <p>The question is does the interaction suck or does the look suck, unless you are a good artist there is not really a lot you can do about the latter, but to stick to the bare minimum. There is a science to minimalism that can be learned even for the non artist types (lay out everything on a regular grid for example). <a href="http://www.west.asu.edu/achristie/555/design.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a> piece is geared somehow towards print, but most of the aspects that are mentioned are universal and do apply to screen and UI design. </p> <p>The former can be fixed by trying to put yourself in the users shoes. Look at the task that the users are doing and how they accomplish that using your software. Does it make it easier for the users to do their work or does it throw roadblocks in the the path that encumber the work flow. </p>

    1. COThis is about design - I am moderately ok at that (my website designs are fairly good, for example). I already know what I want the GUI to look like and do, I just don't know how to achieve the effects. Asking about the utility of the VS Design view was just an aside, really.

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.
