Body
I've created a user control with two items: a button and a menu. The code below is a horribly simplified version that still has the same problems (which I will mention below). <pre><code><UserControl x:Class="gemsTouchLensApplication.Controls.ButtonAndMenu" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <Button/> <Menu/> </StackPanel> </UserControl> </code></pre> I want to be able to do two things with this usercontrol: add items to the menu and set the content of the button. I would like to be able to add items to the menu the conventional way <pre><code><Menu> <MenuItem Header="1"/> <MenuItem Header="2"/> <MenuItem Header="3"/> <MenuItem Header="4"/> <MenuItem Header="5"/> etc... </Menu> </code></pre> However, when I try to do this after adding my usercontrol to a stackpanel <pre><code><Window> <StackPanel> <cntrls:ButtonAndMenu> <MenuItem Header="1"/> <MenuItem Header="2"/>  </cntrls:ButtonAndMenu> </StackPanel> </Window> </code></pre> something unexpected happens. I can only add a single item to the usercontrol. If I add more than one item I get the error: Property 'Content' can only be set once. When only a single item is added the controls visual is closer to that of a button, not a menu. I suspect that by adding controls to the usercontrol the WPF engine defaults to setting the content of the button instead of adding the controls to the menu. How can I modify the usercontrol so that the consumer can: <ol> <li>Add items to the menu using conventional notation </li> <li>Still set the content of the button</li> </ol>

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.
