    <p>I have requirements to implement a UI using c# where the user can manipulate what data they want to appear on a document. The data should enter the program via SQL (prefer not using Table Adapters as the database is then hardcoded into the program, but will use it if absolutely necessary).</p> <p>The following UI will appear when the user chooses to enter a database table:</p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvcUt2amxNaXpJRFU/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvcUt2amxNaXpJRFU/edit?usp=sharing</a> <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvdUhmMUJFbEdKeVk/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvdUhmMUJFbEdKeVk/edit?usp=sharing</a> <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvM3BSWDEyM0ROOFE/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6b_N7sDgjmvM3BSWDEyM0ROOFE/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <ul> <li><p>The user should be able to choose what columns (from all tables, connections should be made using PK/FK.) they want to add to the table, and sort and move that data.</p></li> <li><p>The control should then able to generate the sql used to pull that information from the database (or even pass the database back to the main program, but prefer SQL)</p></li> </ul> <p>I've seen this UI in many programs and would like to think there is a library out there that will save me the trouble of making this UI from scratch.</p> <p>Are there any libraries available for C# that has this kind of functionality?</p>

    1. COIt sounds like you're looking for a report builder, or maybe Microsoft Access.

    2. CO@JohnSaunders Funny you say that, that is the purpose of the program, but our users are not that IT literate so we have to build a UI that is extremely simple but powerful enough to be customizable.

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).
