    <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4292740/get-property-from-a-generic-object-in-c/4292764#4292764">Oded is right</a>, it doesn't seem (to him or me) to make any sense to try and make this method generic. You are trying to genericize a method whose functionality is actually specific to a few types.</p> <p>Now, that said, it seems the <em>bulk</em> of the function is independent of this property you want to access. So why not split it into two parts: that which can be genericized, and that which can't:</p> <p>Something like this:</p> <pre><code>void BindElements&lt;T, TProperty&gt;(IEnumerable&lt;T&gt; dataObjects, Func&lt;T, TProperty&gt; selector) { Paragraph para = new Paragraph(); foreach (T item in dataObjects) { // Notice: by delegating the only type-specific aspect of this method // (the property) to (fittingly enough) a delegate, we are able to // package MOST of the code in a reusable form. var property = selector(item); InlineUIContainer uiContainer = this.CreateElementContainer(property) para.Inlines.Add(uiContainer); } FlowDocument flowDoc = new FlowDocument(para); this.Document = flowDoc; } </code></pre> <p>Then your overloads dealing with specific types, e.g., <code>IPerson</code>, can reuse this code (which I suspect may be what you were after all along—code reuse):</p> <pre><code>public void BindPeople(IEnumerable&lt;IPerson&gt; people) { BindElements(people, p =&gt; p.FirstName); } </code></pre> <p>...then for <code>IOrder</code>:</p> <pre><code>public void BindOrders(IEnumerable&lt;IOrder&gt; orders) { BindElements(orders, o =&gt; p.OrderNumber); } </code></pre> <p>...and so on.</p>

    3. COah I thought I already commented this ok I do now so...: @Dan Tao => What if I would like to pass TWO of those "selector" like FirstName and LastName, how would the BindElements method parameter change? I have never seed/read of that TProperty + selector nor do I really understand it ;-) just starting doing the really generic generic stuff.

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.
