Lightswitch is a template driven application development environment for Visual Studio. It creates Silverlight applications that use a View-Model architecture, using Entity Framework and RIA services for data access. The applications can be run locally on the desktop with a local data store, or with a data store on a server, or run in a browser with a data store on a server. The Lightswitch framework includes designers to create and manage most aspects of an business application such as: <ul> <li>Data model with validation and relationships</li> <li>Screens</li> <li>Menus</li> <li>Queries</li> <li>As of Beta 1, there is no built-in reporting engine</li> </ul> It's scope remains to be seen, but I believe it's targeted for development of corporate in-house applications, such as CMS systems, billing systems, etc. and also line-of-business applications, small and large scale. WinForms or Windows Forms is the graphical API for .NET that lets you create user interfaces with forms and controls, etc. It's not a complete application development framework. This thread compares LightSwitch to building line-of-business applications in Silverlight today: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lightswitchgeneral/thread/3f6161b6-33a3-4b6a-a4d8-ea693d6ba273" rel="nofollow">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lightswitchgeneral/thread/3f6161b6-33a3-4b6a-a4d8-ea693d6ba273</a> This video gives a high-level overview of LightSwitch <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/showcase/en/us/details/74ed35cb-709b-46f7-8b21-2f681965ed0b" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/showcase/en/us/details/74ed35cb-709b-46f7-8b21-2f681965ed0b</a>

Guidance

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.
