    <p>Using Release WPF <code>DataGrid</code> I am trying to bind to the property of a <code>CellViewModel</code> (that supports <code>INotifyPropertyChanged</code> of course). I am binding the <code>DataGrid</code>'s <code>ItemsSource</code> to an <code>ObservableCollection</code> of type <code>RowViewModel</code> (which is inherited from Dr.WPF's <code>ObservableDictonary</code>) of type <code>CellViewModel</code> and I want bind to a property of a <code>CellViewModel</code>. </p> <p>For example in what follows I am trying to change the state of the <code>DatagridCell.FontStyle</code> property based on my <code>CellViewModel.IsLocked</code> boolean property (so that if <code>IsLocked</code> then Italic). </p> <p>First to get expose the relevant CellViewModelobject in XAML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;DataGrid.Resources&gt; &lt;cv:RowColumnToCellConverter x:Key="RowColumnToCellConverter"/&gt; &lt;MultiBinding x:Key="CellViewModel" Converter="{StaticResource RowColumnToCellConverter}"&gt; &lt;Binding /&gt; &lt;Binding RelativeSource="{x:Static RelativeSource.Self}" Path="Column" /&gt; &lt;/MultiBinding&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.Resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>The RowColumnToCellConverter is</p> <pre><code>public class RowColumnToCellConverter : IMultiValueConverter { public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { RowViewModel&lt;string,CellViewModel&gt; row = values[0] as RowViewModel&lt;string,CellViewModel&gt;; string column = (values[1] as DataGridColumn).SortMemberPath; string col = column.Substring(1, column.Length - 2); return row[col]; } public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotSupportedException(); } } </code></pre> <p>Then create the <code>DataTrigger</code> in XAML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;DataGrid.CellStyle&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}"&gt; &lt;Style.Triggers&gt; &lt;DataTrigger Value="True" &gt; &lt;DataTrigger.Binding &gt; &lt;Binding Path="isLocked" Source="{StaticResource CellViewModel}" /&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger.Binding&gt; &lt;Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger&gt; &lt;/Style.Triggers&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.CellStyle&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now this does not work but is an example of what I would <em>like</em> to do, hopefully it is not far off. Certainly the <code>MultiBinding</code> is never set here (since the <code>Converter</code> is never called checking in debug). </p> <p>Elsewhere the <code>MultiBinding/MultiConverter</code> works (although I cut it down for this post hopefully did not introduce any errors) that is as a part of a <code>DataTrigger/MultiTrigger</code> (not as a StaticResource as in the above - which is what I would <em>like</em>)) but then it only reveals an object that is not iself bound to. </p> <p>That is I could have a variant of converter where the object returned is <em>row[col].Islocked</em> however then the Islocked Property is not registered for PropertyChange notifications. </p> <p>Now I cannot add the <code>IsLocked</code> property (or can I?) as a third bind statement for the BindingCollection in the original MultiBind, as until the MultiBind returns an object, there is nothing for the third bind statement <em>{Bind Path=IsLocked}</em> to refer to. </p> <p>So I tried nesting <code>MultiBinding</code> in something like the following which does not work since <code>BindingCollection</code> only accepts Binding objects not <code>MultBinding</code> objects.</p> <pre><code> &lt;DataGrid.CellStyle&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}"&gt; &lt;Style.Triggers&gt; &lt;DataTrigger&gt; &lt;DataTrigger.Binding&gt; &lt;MultiBinding&gt; &lt;MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource RowColumnToCellConverter}"&gt; &lt;Binding /&gt; &lt;Binding RelativeSource="{x:Static RelativeSource.Self}" Path="Column" /&gt; &lt;/MultiBinding&gt; &lt;Binding Path="IsLocked"/&gt; &lt;/MultiBinding&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger.Binding&gt; &lt;Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger&gt; &lt;/Style.Triggers&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.CellStyle&gt; </code></pre> <p>Hopefully my problem should be clear from the above even if my attempted solutions are far off. So what am I missing? (Probably a lot since I have only been using WPF/MVVM for a few weeks and this is a really basic requirement for working with any DataGrid, so I hope the answer is embarrassingly simple).</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
