    <p>The learning curve is high, but there are a lot of really good resources out there. And, the MSDN documentation and SDK samples (as some have already mentioned) are really good.</p> <p>One thing that will help you though, is just to acknowledge the learning curve up front, and to not get discouraged when it doesn't make sense. There really are a lot of concepts to 'grok' before you can do some even basic things.</p> <p>The WPF books already mentioned are all valuable in their own way. My personal experience was that I got a copy of <em>WPF Unleashed</em> first and tried reading it to no avail. It wasn't until I picked up Charles Petzold's <em>Application = Code + Markup</em> and read through some of that ... before I could even begin to understand <em>WPF Unleashed</em>. However, my brain needs detail before concepts actually sink in ...</p> <p>Tim Sneath has an excellent list of WPF bloggers that I have found valuable to get hooked into the WPF community: <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/articles/475132.aspx" rel="noreferrer" title="WPF Bloggers">WPF Bloggers</a></p> <p>A <em>few</em> blogs on my must read list:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://blogs.windowsclient.net/rob_relyea/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer" title="Rob Relyea">Rob Relyea</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drwpf.com/blog/Home/tabid/36/BlogId/1/Default.aspx" rel="noreferrer" title="Dr. WPF">Dr. WPF</a></li> <li><a href="http://joshsmithonwpf.wordpress.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="Josh Smith">Josh Smith</a></li> <li><a href="http://blog.nerdplusart.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="Robby Ingebretsen">Robby Ingebretsen</a></li> <li><a href="http://work.j832.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="Kevin Moore">Kevin Moore</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.charlespetzold.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="Charles Petzold">Charles Petzold</a></li> <li><a href="http://blog.pixelingene.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="Pavan Podila">Pavan Podila</a></li> </ul> <p>Another thing I would do is get Dr. WPF's snippet library (located <a href="http://www.drwpf.com/Blog/Default.aspx?tabid=36&amp;EntryID=22" rel="noreferrer" title="Dr. WPF&#39;s Snippets">here</a>). This is an extremely good way to learn some of the basic plumbing type concepts like Dependency Properties, Routed Events, and Routed Commands.</p> <p>Finally, I would get a copy of Blend (v2.5 is still in beta and free) and use that to generate xaml and then dive into that generated xaml to understand what you did in Blend, maps to the WPF API.</p> <p>Hope this helps. Good luck.</p>

    2. COCharles Petzold's "Application = Code + Markup" has some nice chapters about pimping your controls. I don't remember if it was combobox or other control with subitems but there is description how to make subitems appear in circles instead of normal dropdown way. if you show this to your higher powers they will go "WOW" and shower you with money budget :)

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.
