I'm developing a windows sidebar gadget that calls out to a wcf service via a javascript xmlhttprequest. If you stop the iis site hosting the service, shouldn't all calls to that service from the client return a 404 or something similar? The gadget and wcf service are running on separate machines. When I stop the iis site hosting the service and then drag the gadget from the gallery on to the sidebar, It is still populating correctly with data returned from the web service. However pasting the url for the service method into the browser correctly returns a 404. I must be missing something here. I'm trying to reproduce a scenario where the gadget cannot reach the service so that I can test my xmlhttprequest error listener code. Any suggestions are appreciated.

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.
