    <p>Edit:</p> <p>Simple code I used to solve the problem in case anyone is interested (thanks to Fredrik):</p> <pre><code> int windowOverlap(Rectangle rect1, Rectangle rect2) { if (rect1.IntersectsWith(rect2)) { Rectangle overlap = Rectangle.Intersect(rect1, rect2); if (overlap.IsEmpty) return overlap.Width * overlap.Height; } return 0; } </code></pre> <p>Original Question:</p> <p>I'd like to know a quick and dirty way to check if two rectangles overlap and if they do calculate the area of the overlap. For curiosities sake I'm interested in the case where 1) all the lines in both rectangles are either vertical or horizontal or 2) the general case for any two rectangles, but the only answer I really need is case 1.</p> <p>I'm thinking along the lines of:</p> <pre><code>double areaOfOverlap( Rect A, Rect B) { if ( A.Intersects(B) ) { // calculate area // return area } return 0; } </code></pre> <p>For A.Intersects() I was thinking of using the separating axis test, but if the rectangles have only horizontal and vertical lines is there an even simpler (faster) way to check?</p> <p>And for calculating the area where they intersect is there an quick way to do it if the rectangles only horizontal and vertical lines?</p> <p>Finally, this is unrelated to the question but I'd appreciate any advice someone may have on a good book / webpage where I could review the math for computer graphics. I've been out of college for a while and feel like I'm forgetting everything :)! Anyone else have that problem?</p> <p>( NOTE: I found this question different than <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/244452/what-is-an-efficient-algorithm-to-find-area-of-overlapping-rectangles">this</a> which seems more complicated and doesn't directly answer the question. )</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.
