    <p>The key is you want to keep a <code>Stack</code> of the current property while you recursively search for the value you're after and also a <code>HashSet</code> of visited objects and skip them. You also want to be careful with your exception handling so an exception in the middle doesn't mess up the stack.</p> <pre><code> public static string[] FindPathToProperty(object item, string propertyValueToFind) { var pathToProperty = new Stack&lt;string&gt;(); var visitedObjects = new HashSet&lt;object&gt; {item}; FindPathToProperty(item, propertyValueToFind, pathToProperty, visitedObjects); var finalPath = pathToProperty.ToArray(); Array.Reverse(finalPath); return finalPath; } private static bool FindPathToProperty(object item, string propertyValueToFind, Stack&lt;string&gt; pathToProperty, HashSet&lt;object&gt; visitedObjects) { foreach (var property in item.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)) { try { var value = property.GetValue(item, null); if (visitedObjects.Contains(value)) { continue; } visitedObjects.Add(value); pathToProperty.Push(property.Name); bool found = false; try { found = propertyValueToFind.Equals(value) || FindPathToProperty(value, propertyValueToFind, pathToProperty, visitedObjects); } finally { if (!found) { pathToProperty.Pop(); } } if (found) { return true; } } catch { continue; } } return false; } public static void Test() { Test(new { X = "find" }, "X"); Test(new { X = "no", Y = "find" }, "Y"); Test(new { A = new { X = "no", Y = "find" } }, "A.Y"); } private static void Test(object item, string expected) { string actual = string.Join(".", FindPathToProperty(item, "find")); Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}\r\n {2}", actual == expected ?

    1. COThis is genius! thank you so much. Wish the up arrow was a button, allowed multiple "ups" and i could hold down the enter key with sticky tape.

    2. CO@Valamas, np, we use reflection a lot and this is almost the same as a function we have in our internal common library. LINQ also works really well with reflection, but wouldn't help here much 'cause there's no recursive LINQ (at least not yet).

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
