    <p>Here's a fictitious example of the problem I'm trying to solve. If I'm working in C#, and have XML like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;Cars&gt; &lt;Car&gt; &lt;StockNumber&gt;1020&lt;/StockNumber&gt; &lt;Make&gt;Nissan&lt;/Make&gt; &lt;Model&gt;Sentra&lt;/Model&gt; &lt;/Car&gt; &lt;Car&gt; &lt;StockNumber&gt;1010&lt;/StockNumber&gt; &lt;Make&gt;Toyota&lt;/Make&gt; &lt;Model&gt;Corolla&lt;/Model&gt; &lt;/Car&gt; &lt;SalesPerson&gt; &lt;Company&gt;Acme Sales&lt;/Company&gt; &lt;Position&gt; &lt;Salary&gt; &lt;Amount&gt;1000&lt;/Amount&gt; &lt;Unit&gt;Dollars&lt;/Unit&gt; ... and on... and on.... &lt;/SalesPerson&gt; &lt;/Cars&gt; </code></pre> <p>the XML inside SalesPerson can be very long, megabytes in size. I want to deserialize the tag, <strong>but</strong> not deserialize the SalesPerson XML element instead keeping it in raw form "for later on".</p> <p>Essentially I would like to be able to use this as a Objects representation of the XML.</p> <pre><code>[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("Cars", Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)] public class Cars { [XmlArrayItem(typeof(Car))] public Car[] Car { get; set; } public Stream SalesPerson { get; set; } } public class Car { [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("StockNumber")] public string StockNumber{ get; set; } [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Make")] public string Make{ get; set; } [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Model")] public string Model{ get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>where the SalesPerson property on the Cars object would contain a stream with the raw xml that is within the &lt;SalesPerson&gt; xml element after being run through an XmlSerializer.</p> <p>Can this be done? Can I choose to only deserialize "part of" an xml document?</p> <p>Thanks! -Mike</p> <p>p.s. example xml stolen from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/364253/how-to-deserialize-xml-document">How to Deserialize XML document</a></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.
