    1. COThat sounds much more like a special-case comparer than like an object implementing `IComparable` properly. Can you come up with a meaningful example where `CompareTo(…) == 0` does **not** imply equality? I certainly can’t. In fact, the interface contract (as per MSDN) **requires** that `CompareTo(…) == 0` implies equality. To put it bluntly, in such a case as yours, use a special `Comparator` object, do *not* implement `IComparable`.

    2. CO@Konrad - I did indicate several caveats - that the type doesn't implement IEquatable (so obviously, the originator doesn't want to include an equality test), and that CompareTo results are used for sorting, *not* to evaluate equality. You also get into questions of which equality is relevant (reference, value, ignoring "arbitrary" attributes - a blue book of 500 pages in length may be "equal" to a red book of 500 pages in length, for the purposes of IComparable)

    3. COYour last sentence is wrong, and this is the particular mistake I wanted to point out: `IComparable` is wholly inappropriate here. What you’ve got is a very *particular* ordering that only applies in one special situation. For such situations, implementing a general `IComparable` is wrong. This is what `IComparer`s are there for. For example, people cannot be ordered meaningfully. But they *can* be ordered according to their salary, their shoe size, the number of their freckles or their weight. Hence, we would implement different `IComparer`s for all these cases.

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.
