    <p>I would recommend a combination books, tools, coding and mentoring. </p> <p>Before anything else - get the candidate to buy or borrow Refactoring by Martin Fowler and read it.</p> <p>If you have a good source control system - it should be trivial to create a separate branch to play with. Also if the end result of the exercise is useful you can easily merge it into the trunk. </p> <p>Next, pick a specific task that you know would require them to comprehend the application structure. For example, ask them to instrument a part of the system. This provides a task within which to work instead of general directives (like read the framework documentation or read this code)</p> <p>The next part is to ask that tests be written to support the functionality touched by this task. Review the tests and encourage writing of comprehensive tests. It is important to use a tool for this like NUnit or if your IDE supports unit testing, use that. Encourage the person to ask questions and find out why things are the way they are. </p> <p>If you are using an IDE that supports it introduce the refactoring tools in the IDE and encourage them to refactor the code. Use pair programming or regular code reviews to mentor the person. The tests can be used to show how unit tests are a vital part of a good refactoring effort. Start small - may be change the names of things or extract fields into properties and then move to more complex ones. </p> <p>Hopefully, by the end of the exercise, not only will the person be comfortable enough to question, tweak and change the application and you would have some useful functionality out of it as well :-)</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.
