I think I found most appropriate way to solve this, so if anyone is interested here it is: DataView's Find method locates row fast using current sort order. Problem with that is that sort key generally does not identify every row with unique sort key. So this to work we have to adapt sort key to be unique for every row. This could be simply accomplished by adding primary key to end of sort expression. That way all sort keys that are not unique will be additionally sorted by their primary key and that will make sort key unique and preserve sort order at the same time. Here's an example: Let's say we have loaded DataTable: <pre><code>id last_name first_name date_of_birth ---------------------------------------- 11 Rogers Samuel 1968-08-17 12 Smith John 1952-12-25 13 Johnson Bob 1981-03-29 14 Smith John 1977-02-08 15 Adams David 1971-09-15 ---------------------------------------- // set primary key for DataTable table.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { table.Columns[ "id" ] }; // create first sorting order by last and first name // but make sort unique by adding primary key at end DataView view1 = new DataView( table ); view1.Sort = "last_name, first_name, id"; // create second sorting order by date of birth and again // make sort unique by adding primary key at end DataView view2 = new DataView( table ); view2.Sort = "date_of_birth, id"; // get DataRow of DataTable with primary key 14 DataRow row = table.Rows.Find( 14 ); // using data from DataRow find matching sort key // be aware that Find method of DataView could return -1 // if DataView has filter set that hides row you search int index_in_view1 = view1.Find( new Object[] { row[ "last_name" ], row[ "first_name" ], row[ "id" ] } ); int index_in_view2 = view2.Find( new Object[] { row[ "date_of_birth" ], row[ "id" ] } ); </code></pre> If anyone has any objection to this solution I would really be interested to hear.

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.
