Here's the story: I created a SQL Compact 3.5 database and used SQLMetal.exe to generate DataContext for it. It worked well, but soon I realized that it simply does not suit my needs so I decided to go for SQL Express 2008. I fired up the very same SQL script I used for the Compact to create schema and then fired up SQLMetal.exe tool. I didn't expected the generated DataContext to be different, but I was missing all the relations for some reason. Here's the SQL Compact commandline: <pre><code>SQlMetal.exe /code:MyCode.cs MyDatabase.sdf </code></pre> And here's the SQL Express 2008: <pre><code>SQlMetal.exe /code:MyCode.cs /server:MyServer /database:MyDatabase </code></pre> Any ideas?

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.
