    <p>I'm trying to learn how to use WPF binding and the MVVM architecture. I'm running into some trouble with Dependency Properties. I've tried to control the visibility of an item on the view by binding it to a DependencyProperty in the DataContext, but it doesn't work. No matter what I set the <code>GridVisible</code> value to in the constructor of the view model below, it is always displayed as visible when I run the code.</p> <p>Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?</p> <p><strong>C# code</strong> (ViewModel):</p> <pre><code>public class MyViewModel : DependencyObject { public MyViewModel () { GridVisible = false; } public static readonly DependencyProperty GridVisibleProperty = DependencyProperty.Register( "GridVisible", typeof(bool), typeof(MyViewModel), new PropertyMetadata(false, new PropertyChangedCallback(GridVisibleChangedCallback))); public bool GridVisible { get { return (bool)GetValue(GridVisibleProperty); } set { SetValue(GridVisibleProperty, value); } } protected static void GridVisibleChangedCallback( DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) { // Do other stuff in response to the data change. } } </code></pre> <p><strong>XAML code</strong> (View):</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl ... &gt; &lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolToVisConverter" /&gt; &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;UserControl.DataContext&gt; &lt;local:MyViewModel x:Name="myViewModel" /&gt; &lt;/UserControl.DataContext&gt; &lt;Grid x:Name="_myGrid" Visibility="{Binding Path=GridVisible, ElementName=myViewModel, Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisConverter}}"&gt; &lt;!-- Other elements in here --&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've looked at several tutorials online, and it seems like I'm correctly following what I've found there. Any ideas? Thanks!</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.
