Body
The quote from Bob Muglia was misunderstood and blown way out of proportion. Microsoft's focus has not shifted away from Silverlight as so many people assumed from his interview. It's just that Silverlight is now being used in different ways (business apps, apps for the phone, etc) and their focus has changed accordingly. <ul> <li><a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/11/04/silverlight-questions.aspx" rel="nofollow">Silverlight Questions</a> (words from Scott Guthrie)</li> <li><a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/12/02/announcing-silverlight-5.aspx" rel="nofollow">Announcing Silverlight 5</a> (a sneak peek at what's to come)</li> </ul> And then comparing to Flash is not really fair as Flash has had a huge head start. Flash was introduced in 1996 and has had a long time to spread. What I've looked at more is Silverlight growth over the years. <a href="http://RiaStats.com" rel="nofollow">RiaStats.com</a> now shows a 63% adoption rate for Silverlight 4 which is quite good. There are still times when that adoption rate is a little low for a mainstream app. But the fact that it continues to grow shows promise for Silverlight's future. On a slightly more subjective note, I'm a fan of Silverlight's portability. The fact that it's still a ~5MB download and runs in or out of the browser on a PC or a Mac is very nice. And then Silverlight is also being used on WP7, and soon the XBOX as well. Just by learning Silverlight you open yourself up to develop for a variety of computers and devices.

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.
