    <p>First of all, a couple comments on your question:</p> <p>Your XML example doesn't really lend itself to easy answering. Let's change it to something more semantics-friendly (is that a word?):</p> <pre><code>&lt;people&gt; &lt;person&gt; &lt;name&gt;John Doe&lt;/name&gt; &lt;age&gt;21&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/person&gt; &lt;person&gt; &lt;name&gt;Jane Smith&lt;/name&gt; &lt;age&gt;24&lt;/age&gt; &lt;/person&gt; &lt;/people&gt; </code></pre> <p>Your question doesn't really mention what <strong>you</strong> tried to solve the problem. As NovaJoe said, coding this would be quite trivial using Linq-to-XML and Linq-to-SQL, so how do <strong>you</strong> prefer interacting with your database? Have you written C# code in the past to connect to a database? Are you familiar with LINQ? (<em>If not, you should learn it!</em>)</p> <p>To convince you how badly you should go learn the above technologies, if you're not already familiar with them, I whipped up a quick example of Linq-to-XML and Linq-to-SQL, using the excellent program <a href="http://www.linqpad.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LINQPad</a>:</p> <p>I had the following database table:</p> <pre><code>CREATE TABLE [dbo].[People] ( [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] [varchar](max) NOT NULL, [Age] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_People] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [Id] ASC ) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] </code></pre> <p>And I used LinqPAD to just open up a standard Linq-to-SQL connection for me: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qD3FK.png" alt="sample linqpad database connection"></p> <p>Finally, the C# code:</p> <pre><code>// Connect to the database using linq-to-sql var db = new TypedDataContext(); // Load the xml file using linq-to-xml var doc = XDocument.Load(@"C:\path\to\file\people.xml"); var people = doc.Descendants("person"); foreach (var person in people) { // Create person object var personObject = new People(); personObject.Name = person.Descendants("name").Single().Value; personObject.Age = Convert.ToInt32(person.Descendants("age").Single().Value); // Queue to add person to database db.People.InsertOnSubmit(personObject); } // Finally, submit any pending changes db.SubmitChanges(); </code></pre> <p>This resulted in the following data going into my database:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dNIEv.png" alt="table with data"></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.
