    <p>First time poster. </p> <p>I'm using MVVM-Light with Silverlight 4 and RIA Services. This has been a learning experience! But so far, it's working <em>beautifully</em>. I was wondering two things. Right now, I'm using the Messenger framework to pass EntityObjects back to the ViewModel. For instance, I need to open a View Model with a specific "Course" object. So I instantiate the View, and the View sends a Message to the ViewModel with the Course. I've got a couple questions.</p> <p>First question: Is this the best way to do this? I don't want to use Prism or Unity or any of those other things because I don't have the time to learn them. (This was, for me, the big draw of MVVM Light. The Light part.) But I couldn't see any other way to pass parameters to the VM Locator.</p> <p>The second part is, this means I am sending messages from the View to that View's specific ViewModel. My messages look like this:</p> <pre><code> Tuple&lt;Models.Course, Services.VWDS&gt; courseDomainContextTuple = new Tuple&lt;Models.Course, Services.VWDS&gt;(Course, DomainContext); NotificationMessage&lt;Tuple&lt;Models.Course, Services.VWDS&gt;&gt; message = new NotificationMessage&lt;Tuple&lt;Models.Course, Services.VWDS&gt;&gt;(this, this.DataContext, courseDomainContextTuple, Models.MessageString.EditCourse); Messenger.Default.Send&lt;NotificationMessage&lt;Tuple&lt;Models.Course, Services.VWDS&gt;&gt;&gt;(message); </code></pre> <p>So, as you can see, I'm bundling the Course and the DomainContext (Ah RIA. Why won't you let me get the Context from the EntityObject?) and sending them to the ViewModel (which is "this.DataContext") - and yes, I know I should make a class for that message. </p> <p>Here's the problem - every object that gets a Course and a DomainContext receives that message, not just the VM that I've designated the Target.</p> <p>So, second question: Is that by design, or is that a bug, or am I doing something wrong?</p> <p>Thanks!</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.
