    <p>Both are great solutions, although I personally think NHibernate is better for an inherited database. Here is a good feature-wise comparison - </p> <p><a href="http://www.dennisdoomen.net/2013/03/entity-framework-56-vs-nhibernate-3.html">http://www.dennisdoomen.net/2013/03/entity-framework-56-vs-nhibernate-3.html</a></p> <p>There are some things that are clearly better in NHibernate, such as second-level caching support. Documentation is probably a bit sparser than EF, but if you're willing to go through the learning curve, NHibernate gives you a lot more power. </p> <p>FluentNHibernate is great for typed mapping of classes to underlying tables but there are some places you will just have to revert to XML mappings. There is a new competing API from NHibernate itself however, and I have not checked it out yet (the above blog post mentions it). </p> <p>If you want to rely on VS tooling support, EF is better. However there will be some magic sometimes (for e.g. EF can use reflection to even populate private properties of an object, NHibernate does not do that; this is a strength or a weakness depending on how you see it). EF also works well with other Microsoft supplied-frameworks (for e.g. RIA services). I also like EF-auto migrations (when you use code-first).</p> <p>If you want more power in your hands and want to be able to fine-tune how things work with clear separation of concerns (ORM does only what the ORM should do), NH seems to be better. However, it is a bit irritating to make all the properties virtual for NH to be able to access them. </p> <p>I have used both and it can get a bit clunky either ways sometimes to generate the sql you want; in those 5-10% cases, drop down one more level and use a micro-orm like Dapper, Massive or Petapoco. </p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>NHibernate too can populate private properties, seemingly, so this was just ignorance on my part. </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.
