The short answer is "yes"... The protocol buffers spec itself doesn't provide an RPC stack, but some have been added outside the spec. Firstly, <a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/" rel="noreferrer">protobuf-net</a> has hooks for WCF, allowing you to mark operations on your service contract as <a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/source/browse/trunk/protobuf-net/ServiceModel/ProtoBehaviorAttribute.cs" rel="noreferrer"><code>ProtoBehavior</code></a>. This then swaps the regular <code>DataContractSerializer</code> to use protobuf-net serialization. However, there are some caveats: <ul> <li>your data-members must have explicit Order (e.g. <code>[ProtoMember(Order = 1)]</code>), since it uses these numbers as the field identifiers (protocol buffers uses numeric fields)</li> <li>it works best with assembly/class sharing (of the service contract etc), since this custom behavior is not exposed on "mex"</li> </ul> When used with the basic http transport, this is also compatible with MTOM (if enabled) for maximum througput. Performance of non-trivial messages is largely proportional to their size; you can get an idea of protobuf-net's sizes <a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/wiki/Performance" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. Alternatively, I'm also working on a bespoke RPC stack. The <a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/downloads/list" rel="noreferrer">current build</a> has a working stack over http, but I also plan to enable it on raw TCP/IP when I get chance. I haven't had chance to write it up yet, but I can provide examples on request. Note that to use it most conveniently, you'll want the 3.5 "extensions" dll, too. Any questions, add a comment or e-mail me (see my profile).

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.
