    <p>On large datasets sorting may be expensive. If screen real estate is the issue you can have one datagrid with one type of items and switch the item template to switch between both views. This way screen estate is retained, sorting isn't done twice and you have a very reliable way of keeping the sort between both views in sync.</p> <p>there are many ways to achieve the effect, the best approach depends on the specific circumstances.</p> <p>One approach would be to set two different <code>&lt;GridView&gt;</code>s as resources and select which one is used either in code or through Binding with a custom converter:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;GridView x:Key="DefaultView"&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Width="120"....etc/&gt; &lt;/GridView&gt; &lt;GridView x:Key="AlternativeView"&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Width="50"....etc/&gt; &lt;/GridView&gt; &lt;/Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;ListView x:Name="MyListView" ItemsSource="{Binding DisplayValues}" View="{StaticResource DefaultView}"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p>and in code behind you can switch the view, something like this:</p> <pre><code> MyListView.View = isDefault ? MyListView.TryFindResource("DefaultView") : MyListView.TryFindResource("AlternativeView") </code></pre> <p>It's also possible to use Binding and skip the code behind.</p> <p>Another approach would be to make a user control for one of the column items where the user control can display the data in two alternative states.</p> <p>Yet another possiblity is to use <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.itemscontrol.itemtemplateselector.aspx" rel="nofollow">ItemTemplateSelector</a></p>

    1. CO"ItemTemplates" sounds marvelous except that you can only do cell templates to DataGridTextColumns, and there is nowhere I can bind a dynamic resource to change this "View" of the DataTable. I've tried making a converter that takes in the type of item in the collection and spits out the appropriate member of the item based on the tab they've chosen.

    2. CO@StanPetrov:(cont'd...)But when I try to *bind* it, which is essential somewhere in this operation, an access to my ViewModel behind the scenes no matter what way you slice it (I can expand on that), I get the WPF error "A 'Binding' cannot be set on the (Converter, ConverterParameter, whatever} property, virtually anywhere I could possibly imagine I could bind something that would solve my problem. So the idea sounds better than it is in practice, unless you can see what I'm missing.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
