    <p>Is there something I need to do to get System.Net working with Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition? I can't seem to get any web type controls or classes to work at all.. the below WebClient example always throws the exception "<strong>Unable to connect to the remote server</strong>".. and consequently I can't get the WebBrowser control to load a page either.</p> <p>Here is the code (Edited):</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; using System.Net; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) { string s = client.DownloadString("http://www.google.com"); this.textBox1.Text = s; } } } } </code></pre> <p>This is in a simple form with only a textbox control (with multiline set to true) in it. The exception gets thrown on the <code>DownloadString(...)</code> line. I also tried using <code>WebRequest</code>.. same exception!</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I am connected to a Linksys WRT54G Router that connects directly to my cable modem. I am not behind a proxy server, although I did run <code>proxycfg -u</code> and I got:</p> <pre><code>Updated proxy settings Current WinHTTP proxy settings under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\ WinHttpSettings : Direct access (no proxy server). </code></pre> <p>I am using Windows XP and not running any kind of firewall. Only AVG at the moment. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to forward any ports or anything, but I did try forwarding port 80 to my workstation on my router. Didn't help.</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.
