    <p>I have an Address object defined simply as follows:</p> <pre><code>public class Address { public string StreetNumber { get; set; } public string StreetAddress { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string PostalCode { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Fairly simple. On the advice an answer to another <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1401796/idataerrorinfo-in-winforms">question</a> I asked, I am referring to <a href="http://www.codegod.de/WebAppCodeGod/objectdatasource-and-idataerrorinfo-with-winforms-AID427.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> blog post when databinding my UI to an object of type Person (which contains an Address MailingAddress field).</p> <p>The problem is that the IDataError interface method isn't validating any of the properties of the Address type.</p> <pre><code>public string this[string columnName] { get { string result = null; // the following works fine if(columnName == "FirstName") { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.FirstName)) result = "First name cannot be blank."; } // the following does not run // mostly because I don't know what the columnName should be else if (columnName == "NotSureWhatToPutHere") { if (!Util.IsValidPostalCode(this.MailingAddress.PostalCode)) result = "Postal code is not in a know format."; } return result; } } </code></pre> <p>So, obviously I don't know what the columnName will be... I've stepped through it and it has never been anything other than any of the public properties (of intrinsic types). I've even tried running and breaking on a statement like:</p> <pre><code>if (columnName.Contains("Mailing") || columnName.Contains("Postal")) System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(columnName); </code></pre> <p>All to no avail.</p> <p>Is there something I'm missing?</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.
