Body
So, the ViewModel loads and readies the Models that represent Albums, and the View watches the ViewModel and presents to the users the Albums in a way they can understand. First, let's look at the Model. You have an Album, which has one or more Songs. <pre><code>public sealed class Album { public string Name {get;set;} public string Artist {get;set;} public IEnumerable<Song> Songs {get;set;} } public sealed class Song { public string Name {get;set;} public TimeSpan Length {get;set;} } </code></pre> The ViewModel loads up a public collection of all the Albums <pre><code>public sealed class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged { public ObservableCollection<Album> Albums {get;set;} public Album SelectedAlbum {get;set;} // implement INPC for this property } </code></pre> The ViewModel is the DataContext for the View. Controls bind to Albums and SelectedAlbum. Note, if the ViewModel doesn't have to act on the SelectedAlbum, we could handle the currently selected Album all in the View. This is just an example. <pre><code><ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Albums}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedAlbum}" /> </code></pre> Your controls bind relative to SelectedAlbum in order to display information about it <pre><code><TextBlock Text="{Binding SelectedAlbum.Name}" /> </code></pre> Your DataGrid binds to the Songs property of the SelectedAlbum <pre><code><DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedAlbum.Songs}" /> </code></pre> And everything went better than expected.

1. COThanks for the reply. I'm using WinForms, but the example is obviously clear enough that I was able to implement it after combining your's and Charles' answers.

Guidance

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.
