    <p>My problem is to try to figure out how to load a .NET assembly from an arbitrary location. In my scenario, I don't want to use a subdirectory (ruling out a probing path approach) or the GAC. The subdirectory approach causes multiple copies of the assembly to be stored, since multiple callers use the assembly. The GAC scenario is the longer term answer, but there is some effort incurred in going to that approach. For Visual Studio 2010 I see GAC usage as having these primary options: the built-in installer has received a lot of criticism, the InstallShield Limited edition is pretty sweet but doesn't appear to support GAC (paid InstallShield versions do, of course), and WiX is regarded as having a learning curve for use.</p> <p>I mention all this about the GAC primarily because any of the numerous folks who have asked this question always seemed to get pointed in the direction of the GAC. It is frustrating because the codebase element seems to be precisely what I desire for my strongly-named caller and called assemblies. My app.config file looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;startup&gt; &lt;supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/&gt;&lt;/startup&gt; &lt;runtime&gt; &lt;assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft.com:asm.v1"&gt; &lt;dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity name="SharedProgramTest" Culture="neutral" PublicKeyToken="c422f85319da5fe0" /&gt; &lt;codeBase version ="1.0.0.1" href="file:///D:/SomewhereElse/SharedProgramTest.dll" /&gt; &lt;/dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;/assemblyBinding&gt; &lt;/runtime&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks, John Wigger</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.
