Body
Instead of using the <code>Convert.ToDateTime</code> method you can use the <code>DateTime.Parse</code> or <code>DateTime.ParseExact</code> methods. Both allow you to pass a culture that tells how you expect the date to be formatted. The <code>DateTime.ParseExact</code> method also allows you to specify the format you expect, so you can parse more or less any format with this method. Edit: Regarding <code>Convert.ToDateTime</code>. The documentation says that the current culture is used when parsing: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xhz1w05e.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xhz1w05e.aspx</a> The current culture can be found using the <code>System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture</code> property. Edit2: Oh. You may also want to use <code>DateTime.TryParse</code> and <code>DateTime.TryParseExact</code> if you are unsure whether the given format is invalid. Edit3: Lots of edits here... I see that you want to determine the culture string that matches the date the user has entered. There is no general solution that is guaranteed to work here. Say for instance that the user has entered the date 01.02.11. There is no way to be certain if this date is in day.month.year or month.day.year or year.month.day and so on. The best you can do is to have a list of expected input cultures and start with the most likely and try to parse the date using that. If that fails, you can try the second most likely and so on... But this is really not recommended. Either give the user an expected format, or better, use a date input box that ensures that you receive the selected date in an appropriate format.

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.
