Body
I have assigned a section of text to <code>Description</code>. This "Description" is pulled from a text file depending on the <code>id</code> of an item. <pre><code>private string _description = string.Empty; public string Description { get { return this._description; } set { this.SetProperty(ref this._description, value); } } </code></pre> This works fine and returns the description. But it is returned as a large block/wall of text. I tried the following but it doesn't work well, it only formats the defined text and doesn't help me because <code>Description</code> is dynamic. <pre><code> String ITEM_CONTENT = String.Format( "Item Content: {0}\n\n{0}\n\n{0}\n\n{0}\n\n{0}\n\n{0}\n\n{0}", "proin lobortis sollicitudin augue elit mus congue fermentum parturient fringilla euismod feugiat."); </code></pre> I am fitting the description into a TextBlock on my XAML page <pre><code><TextBlock x:Name="decription" Text="{Binding Description}" FontSize="30" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="Auto" MaxWidth="1400" LineHeight="35" Padding="20"/> </code></pre> How do I format this <code>Description</code> so that it is neater, with line breaks or new lines after every 5 sentences ending with a fullstop? EDIT: Tried this but still didn't work <pre><code>private string _description = string.Empty; public string Description { get { return this._description; } set { var description = string.Empty; var substrings = "".Split( '.' ); for ( int i = 0; i < substrings.Length; i++ ) { description += substrings[i]; if ( i%5 == 0 ) { description += Environment.NewLine; } } this.SetProperty(ref this._description, description); } } </code></pre>

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.
