    1. COYou should be very careful with this option as the TFS merge tool can't tell the difference between white space in code and whitespace in a string literal. A far better solution is to get the entire team to use the same standards for white space in code.

    2. CO@Keith: The literal issue is handy to know - I hadn't noticed that. However, team standards is not always the issue. If I wrap a block of code in a condition it will automatically indent causing whitespace in front of every row. I only really want to see the If/End statements highlighted as changes, not the whole block in between.

    3. COI'd want the opposite - everything in the block highlighted. More importantly it this doesn't just affect the UI highlight, it also changes how the tool actually does merges. Suppose you merge with someone's change - another `If` block that overlaps with your `If` block. If you ignore whitespace you'll get a 'safe' merge (4 single line changes), while if you don't you'll get a conflict to manually fix (2 overlapping blocks). Worst of all - if the former then that code will still compile (it's now a nested `If`) so it won't be obvious that the corrupt merge has messed up both your changes.

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.
