    <p>I understand your confusion (having been there myself), but first let me start by saying Silverlight and WPF are not dead yet! And you would not be wasting your time in learning either! </p> <p>There are quite a few (terrifying) posts to the contrary, but if you keep searching you'll also find those that support WPF/Silverlights extended life in development, one for example is <a href="http://www.wpfblogger.com/post/Silverlight-is-not-dead-clarifies-Bob-Muglia.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.wpfblogger.com/post/Silverlight-is-not-dead-clarifies-Bob-Muglia.aspx</a> (this is a nice summary of what Bob Muglia said - there's a link to his full statement). Another assurance is that Microsoft has invested quite a bit in WPF themselves in designing VS2010 in it, so its not likely that they're about to give it the boot.</p> <p>As for your hobbies and projects, if you intend on sticking to desktop clients I recommend WPF of which Silverlight is a subset, so you'll find that the transition isn't anything major on the face of it (there's a few more controls and such in WPF that aren't in silverlight and gives more flexibility for desky stuff [here's an article you can read if interested - <a href="http://briannoyes.net/2010/06/01/WPFNdashIrsquomNotDeadYet.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://briannoyes.net/2010/06/01/WPFNdashIrsquomNotDeadYet.aspx</a> ]), this should be able to handle most of your stuff including playing with 3D objects (to create them I'd use something like Blender 3D, its free but the learning curve for a first timer is kinda steep). </p> <p>Lastly, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to learn HTML5, but booting out Silverlight to do it probably isn't the way you want to go. There's bound to be ways in which Silverlight will enrich the browsing experience even with pages using HTML5 in the future, so don't kick it all out yet :)</p>

    1. COThanks for that summary link... that was new to me. I heard about the VS2010 argument for WPF before and it did give me some hope. Hope the talk about SL-WPF convergence is good. The HTML5 thing is really out there for me, since I have no real experience in web stuff.

    2. COHmm... even though I don't know a lot about WCF yet, that second link favors WPF for networked stuff. But that post was from a year ago, it says drag-drop is limited to files only, but google says otherwise x__x.

    3. COLol, you should try doing something webby, html and css aren't too steep to learn (and I'm personally growing more in love with ASP.NET) :) its also a better idea than building an entire site in Silverlight since it doesn't have as great an install base as things like Flash >.< so it may limit your user base to use it alone :) there have been some updates to Silverlight, so its entirely possible that the second link is out of date by now

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.
