    <p>I have a situation where my view definition(i.e. the content that gets displayed on a layout file) is defined in a json structure. I need to be able to define this json structure along with bindings and then my code should be able to dynamically create controls based on the json structure and fill out the layout.</p> <p>I am able to accomplish the same using code below.</p> <pre><code> protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate(bundle); FirstViewModel firstViewModel = new FirstViewModel() { Id = 1001, FirstName = "Amit", MiddleName = string.Empty, LastName = "Taparia", Race = "Asian", IsUSNational = false }; this.ViewModel = firstViewModel as IMvxViewModel; var bindings = this.CreateInlineBindingTarget&lt;FirstViewModel&gt;(); this.Root = new RootElement("Main View", null, null). { new Section("Personal Information") { new StringElement("Employee#","Enter Employee#").Bind(bindings,vm =&gt; vm.Id) new EntryElement("FirstName","Enter First Name").Bind(bindings,vm=&gt;vm.FirstName), new EntryElement("MiddleName","Enter Middle Name").Bind(bindings, vm=&gt; vm.MiddleName), new EntryElement("LastName","Enter Last Name","Amit",null).Bind(bindings, vm =&gt; vm.LastName), new EntryElement("Race","Enter Race").Bind(bindings,vm =&gt; vm.Race), new BooleanElement("US National",true,).Bind(bindings, vm =&gt; vm.IsUSNational). }, }; } </code></pre> <p>But I need to be able to do the same using a structure defined in json file. I know we can do something like this using MvvmCross, but I dont know how to do this.</p> <p>I came across these three sample solutions a) CustomerManagement b) CustomerManager.AutoView Here I do see that we have a BaseCustomerEditView.cs where there is a json structure defined, but the code is commented out. c) DialogExamples</p> <p>Couple of questions</p> <p>1) Whats the difference between using AutoView and MvxDialog? Is it one and the same thing?</p> <p>2) Are there any potential limitations using the control structure defined in json file. I do see one problem related to alignment. We wont have any control over the alignment of controls defined in json file.</p> <p>3) How to achieve rendering/binding using a structure defined in json file?</p> <p>Looking forward to your responses.</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.
