    <p>I want to declare a DataContext through a static resource in XAML as a binding for the Customers in the Northwind database. I can do this easily in code (C#) but want to learn how to do in XAML. I have tried all of the examples I can find but none of them work for me. I believe the issue is in the two XAML lines of code I have labeled [Option1] and [Option2]. Can you clarify what the syntax for this really should be?</p> <p><strong>C#</strong></p> <pre><code>namespace DataGridEF { public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); bModel1 bNorthWind = new bModel1(); //this.DataContext = bNorthWind; bNorthWind.GetCustomers(); } } } namespace DataGridEF { public class bModel1 { List&lt;Customer&gt; _Customers; public List&lt;Customer&gt; Customers { get { return _Customers; } set { _Customers = value; } } public void GetCustomers() { NorthwindEntities NorthWind = new NorthwindEntities(); var CustomerQ = from cust in NorthWind.Customers select cust; _Customers = CustomerQ.ToList(); } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>XAML</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;Window x:Class="DataGridEF.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:DataGridEF"&gt; &lt;Window.Resources&gt; &lt;vm:bModel1 x:Key="TheViewModel" /&gt; &lt;/Window.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="195" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="20,89,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Customers}" [option1]DataContext="{StaticResource TheViewModel}" [option2]DataContext= "{Binding Path=., Source={StaticResource TheViewModel}}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="471" &gt; &lt;DataGrid.Columns&gt; &lt;DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Path=ContactName}" /&gt; &lt;DataGridTextColumn Header="Address" Binding="{Binding Path=Address}" /&gt; &lt;DataGridTextColumn Header="City" Binding="{Binding Path=City}" /&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.Columns&gt; &lt;/DataGrid&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre>

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.
