    <p>I am trying to create a generic simulation runner. Each simulation implements a variety of interfaces. Eventually, it will pick up simulation types via DLLs at run time, so I will have no way of knowing the types beforehand. </p> <p>My Currrent Code:</p> <pre><code>public class SimulationRunner&lt;TSpace, TCell&gt; where TSpace : I2DState&lt;TCell&gt; where TCell : Cell { public TSpace InitialState { get; set; } public IStepAlgorithm&lt;TSpace,TCell&gt; StepAlgorithm { get; set; } public IDisplayStateAlgorithm&lt;TSpace,TCell&gt; DisplayStateAlgorithm { get; set; } public int MaxStepCount { get; set; } ... public void Run() {...} public void Step() {...} public void Stop() {...} } </code></pre> <p>I want my UI class to store a generic instance of the simulation runner (Eg </p> <pre><code>public partial class UI : Window { SimulationRunner&lt;TSpace,TCell&gt; simulation; ... } </code></pre> <p>so that i can assign different types of simulations to it. Eg </p> <pre><code>simulation = new SimulationRunner&lt;2DSpace, SimpleCell&gt;(); // do stuff // start new simulation of different type simulation = new SimulationRunner&lt;3DSpace, ComplexCell&gt;(); </code></pre> <p>I want to have my UI controls wired to the simulation variable so i can do things like </p> <pre><code>private void mnuiSimulate_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (simulation != null) simulation.RunSimulation(); } </code></pre> <p>and have it work regardless of what types are currently bound to TSpace and TCell.</p> <p>Currently I am getting errors saying "Error 10 The type or namespace name 'U' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)", and the same again for T.</p> <p>I have tried creating a controller class that wraps the SimulationRunner, but I still have the same problem in that I have to pass in the types of TSpace and TCell when I create it, so the problem just gets moved to a different class. </p> <p>How can I store any type of simulation in a variable? How can I bind the controls to work on any type of simulation?</p>

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.
