You raise an interesting point about VB/C# compilation that I can't really speak to. If you're looking for a solution, here's a way to do it from the question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/2478022/1366033">How can I recognize a generic class?</a> Define these functions: <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Public Function IsSubclassOf(ByVal childType As Type, ByVal parentType As Type) As Boolean Dim isParentGeneric As Boolean = parentType.IsGenericType Return IsSubclassOf(childType, parentType, isParentGeneric) End Function Private Function IsSubclassOf(ByVal childType As Type, ByVal parentType As Type, ByVal isParentGeneric As Boolean) As Boolean If childType Is Nothing Then Return False End If If isParentGeneric AndAlso childType.IsGenericType Then childType = childType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() End If If childType Is parentType Then Return True End If Return IsSubclassOf(childType.BaseType, parentType, isParentGeneric) End Function </code></pre> Call like this: <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Dim baseType As Type = GetType(MyBaseClass(Of )) Dim childType As Type = GetType(MyOtherChildClass) Console.WriteLine(IsSubclassOf(childType, baseType)) 'Writes: True </code></pre> Here's a <a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/95768/a-call-to-type-basetype-on-an-open-generic-hierarchy-will-produce-a-unexpected-typehandle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft Connect Ticket</a> that might deal with this issue and give some explanation as to whether this was a feature or a bug of generic typing. Although this case doesn't seem supported by the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0ec5kw18.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Type Of</code></a> documentation which states that for classes, typeof will return true if: <blockquote> objectexpression is of type typename or inherits from typename </blockquote>

Guidance

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.
