    <blockquote> <p><strong>Possible Duplicate:</strong><br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/274022/how-do-i-pronounce-as-used-in-lambda-expressions-in-net">How do I pronounce &ldquo;=&gt;&rdquo; as used in lambda expressions in .Net</a> </p> </blockquote> <p>Sometimes, when helping another programmer write code, I dictate what I want them to type in. Sometimes this can be a frustrating exercise until the programmer gets used to how you verbalize code (i.e. "assign 5 to x" versus "x equals 5"). One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to efficiently pronounce lambda expressions in C#.</p> <p>For example, if I want <code>(x, y) =&gt; x * y</code> typed in, here's the sorts of things I've tried:</p> <blockquote> <p>Me: Lambda expression taking x and y, yielding x times y</p> <p>Him: "Huh?"</p> <p>Me: Delegate taking x and y, returning x times y</p> <p>Him: <code>delegate(x, y) { return x * y; }</code>, what types are x and y?</p> <p>Me: tuple of x and y, right-arrow x times y</p> <p>Him: "Eh?"</p> <p>Me: open paren, x, comma, y, close-paren, right-arrow x times y</p> <p>Him: (x,y)->x*y</p> <p>Me: Er, double-arrow?</p> <p>Him: >></p> <p>Me: Sigh... equals-greater-than</p> <p>Him: (oh, greater-than-or-equals?) >=</p> <p>Me: OK, let me drive for a while!</p> </blockquote> <p>The programmers in question know what lambda expressions are, but they're hard to communicate. I'm sure we'll learn how, but I don't even know if I'm doing it right. Have you found a successful way to dictate this relatively-new language construct in C#? Or better-yet, is there a language-neutral way to pronounce lambda expressions?</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.
