    <p>I have a <code>C#/WCF</code> service. I'm <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15270680/add-service-reference-when-using-nettcp-binding">having</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15338163/service-has-zero-application-non-infrastructure-endpoints">problems</a> adding a service reference to it, so one of my colleagues suggested that I simply add a reference to it using a library. </p> <p>The second answer <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wcf/thread/758f5253-8262-4e29-b57f-c56a7b3023df" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> suggests that by doing so I lose the service re usability.<br> Is that correct? Are there any other differences between those options? </p> <p><strong>Edit</strong><br> I have no experience with WCF. I was working according to <a href="http://wcftutorial.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial, please provide some explanations (or links to them) in your answers as well. </p> <p><strong>Edit 2</strong><br> I want a Windows-hosted WCF service that will run on every machine that runs my main application. My application (and another one) will use this service locally only.<br> Can I still achieve that with "Add reference"? </p> <p><strong>Edit 3</strong><br> I need a service because I have two different application that are doing the same thing and they need HW resources for that. Currently, one of them is using the other's dll, so the code is not copied and pasted (at least), but there's no way to prevent a concurrent access to those resources. Windows service can solve this problem.<br> The binding is not too important. I'll read further about named pipes. </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.
