    <p>I really don't see a reason to create a property that substitutes for the <code>DataContext</code></p> <p>The purpose of the <code>DataContext</code> is to refer to the actual data behind your control. Why would you create a 2nd property for one that already exists? To me that's like saying you want to rewrite the <code>IsReadOnly</code> property of a control so it reads <code>DisableEditing</code> - there's no purpose for it. </p> <p>And furthermore, why would you want tie it to your application layer? The whole point of WPF is to separate business/application logic from the UI, and what you are trying to do is tie the two together. Use WinForms if you want that behavior.</p> <p>If you want to be sure your <code>UserControl</code> is only used with a <code>User</code> DataContext, use a <code>DataTemplate</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:User}"&gt; &lt;local:MyUserControl /&gt; &lt;!-- DataContext will be User --&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;!-- This will display a User object, but because of the DataTemplate it will draw it using your UserControl instead of the default User.ToString() --&gt; &lt;ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentUser}" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you really want to ensure that your <code>UserControl</code> only receives a <code>User</code> object as the <code>DataContext</code>, do some kind of validation check on initialization that <code>this.DataContext</code> is a <code>User</code> object. Don't create some kind of custom property that people need to remember to bind anytime they want to use your control.</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.
