    <p>I am trying to build a project using WDK 8.1 and Visual Studio 2012 under Windows 8. I do not have Visual Studio 2013 Preview installed, however according to the requirements page I have fulfilled all the requirements:</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn308552%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#system_requirements" rel="nofollow">WDK 8.1 Requirements</a></p> <p>That page says:</p> <blockquote> <p>System Requirements Before you install the WDK, you must first install Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 or above.</p> </blockquote> <p>My project was created using WDK 8.0 so I followed the instructions provided here for migrating to WDK 8.1:</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn265174%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">ProjectUpgradeTool: Upgrade a WDK 8 project or solution to WDK 8.1</a></p> <p>While running the command:</p> <pre><code>ProjectUpgradeTool.exe C:\Sources\MyDriver </code></pre> <p>I got the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Catastrophic failure while converting projects under 'C:\Sources\MyDriver': Message:Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build, Version=12.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependenc ies.

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.
