    <p>First, an example of something that works as expected: (all code was executed in VS2008 immediate window)</p> <pre><code>25 is IComparable &gt;&gt; true 25.GetType().GetInterfaces() &gt;&gt; {System.Type[5]} &gt;&gt; [0]: {Name = "IComparable" FullName = ... &gt;&gt; [1]: {Name = "IFormattable" FullName = ... &gt;&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>So far so good. Now let's try on an object where the interface is inherited via a base type:</p> <pre><code>class TestBase : IComparable { public int CompareTo(object obj) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } class TheTest : TestBase { } </code></pre> <p>In the immediate window:</p> <pre><code>(new TheTest()) is IComparable &gt;&gt; true (new TheTest()).GetType().GetInterfaces() &gt;&gt; {System.Type[1]} &gt;&gt; [0]: {Name = "IComparable" FullName = "System.IComparable"} </code></pre> <p>No surprises here either. How come the following code doesn't show any interfaces then:</p> <pre><code>wcfChannel = ChannelFactory&lt;IMyServiceApi&gt;.CreateChannel(binding, endpointAddress); wcfChannel is IMyServiceApi &amp;&amp; wcfChannel is ICommunicationObject &gt;&gt; true typeof(IMyServiceApi).IsInterface &amp;&amp; typeof(ICommunicationObject).IsInterface &gt;&gt; true wcfChannel.GetType().GetInterfaces() &gt;&gt; {System.Type[0]} </code></pre> <p>How can all of the above be true at the same time?</p> <p>(<strong>edit</strong>: added <code>wcfChannel is ICommunicationObject</code> above, which is at this time unexplained by the answer that explains how <code>wcfChannel is IMyServiceApi</code> is true.)</p>

    1. COpresumably a side-effect of the fact that this type is generated at runtime; out of curiosity, is it a ContextBoundObject?

    2. COFurther info: Visual Studio shows it as a `System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.__TransparentProxy`. Can't see ContextBoundObject anywhere.

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.
