    <p>You can steal the ItemTemplateSelector concept from the WPF playbook. This is what that would look like:</p> <h2>App.xaml</h2> <pre><code>&lt;DataTemplate x:Key="MaleTemplate"&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="M - " /&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" /&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="FemaleTemplate"&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="F - " /&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" /&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <h2>MainPage.xaml</h2> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;local:PersonTemplateSelector x:Key="PersonTemplateSelector" /&gt; &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"&gt; &lt;local:CustomItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}" ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource PersonTemplateSelector}" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <h2>MainPage.xaml.cs</h2> <pre><code>public partial class MainPage : UserControl { public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); this.DataContext = Person.GetSampleData(); } } </code></pre> <h2>PersonTemplateSelector.cs</h2> <pre><code>public class PersonTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector { public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) { var person = item as Person; if (person != null) { switch (person.Gender) { case Gender.Male: return Application.Current.Resources["MaleTemplate"] as DataTemplate; case Gender.Female: return Application.Current.Resources["FemaleTemplate"] as DataTemplate; default: throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); } } return null; } } </code></pre> <p>If this is something that makes since and you are interested in using you will need to use this CustomItemsControl, or some variation:</p> <h2>CustomItemsControl.cs</h2> <pre><code>public class CustomItemsControl : ItemsControl { public DataTemplateSelector ItemTemplateSelector { get { return (DataTemplateSelector)GetValue(ItemTemplateSelectorProperty); } set { SetValue(ItemTemplateSelectorProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemTemplateSelectorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ItemTemplateSelector", typeof(DataTemplateSelector), typeof(CustomItemsControl), new PropertyMetadata(null)); protected override void PrepareContainerForItemOverride(DependencyObject element, object item) { ContentPresenter presenter = element as ContentPresenter; if (presenter != null) { DataTemplate itemTemplate = null; if (base.ItemTemplate != null) { itemTemplate = base.ItemTemplate; } else if (this.ItemTemplateSelector != null) { itemTemplate = this.ItemTemplateSelector.SelectTemplate(item, element); } presenter.Content = item; presenter.ContentTemplate = itemTemplate; } } } public class DataTemplateSelector { public virtual DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) { return null; } } </code></pre>

    3. COThanks for the detailed answer. I read about that techniqe some time ago. The drawback of this solution for me is that it's a little too sophisticated. I mean it requires to create custom control for each standard control that use ItemSource to bind to collection. I wolud prefer something that could be used with standard silverlight/wpf controls. Anyway, +1 for providing insightful solution.

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.
