    <p>Unfortunately, there may not be a good answer depending on exactly what you want to do. Your question is a little vague as to exactly what you are trying to do. Are you trying to simply extend the existing designer within Visual Studio, or are you trying to host the WPF designer in your own separate application?</p> <p>If the latter, you may unfortunately not be able to do that. The WinForms designer was actually part of the .NET Framework (not Visual Studio) and so was accessible to any application that provided the correct hosting environment. There is <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163634.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a good article on MSDN on how to do that here</a>, and <a href="http://www.divil.co.uk/net/articles/designers/hosting.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">another one on from DivElements here</a>.</p> <p>Many people have asked in other forums whether the same is possible using Cider (the code name for the WPF designer), and <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vswpfdesigner/thread/7d5de52f-c8f2-4c2f-8669-d0358efe3e4e" rel="nofollow noreferrer">it seems like the answer is no</a>. Your only potential alternative is to redesign your application to make use of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb685612.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Visual Studio Isolated Shell</a>. There is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb933751.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">good overview of the options here</a>.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> It looks like SharpDevelop may have a WPF designer you can use. I'm not 100% sure if they developed their own, or if they figured out a way to host it, but you can look at their source and decide for yourself. Go to the <a href="http://build.sharpdevelop.net/buildartefacts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Daily Builds of Sharp Develop</a> (it's <em>not</em> in the official build yet) and get the latest daily build. In that zip file, look at the Samples/XamlDesigner directory.</p>

    1. COEdited my question to add information. We are trying to host the designer in our application, and obviously the Isolated Shell is not a solution for us. I am shocked there is such a lack of support from Microsoft on this topic- it seems they have simply ignored the possibility of this scenario.

    2. COIt doesn't sound like they ignored the scenario... but rather they either A. Ran out of time, or B. Decided that the best way to do it and control the usage was through the Isolated Shell. Do look at the Isolated Shell though... it is HIGHLY customizable.

    3. COEdited to add another possible resource... SharpDevelop may have figured out a way to do this. There is a link to their code in my edited answer.

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.
