    <p>TypeConverter. I think this is what I was looking for. All hail <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/796607/how-do-i-override-tostring-in-c-enums/796675#796675">Simon Svensson</a>!</p> <pre><code>[TypeConverter(typeof(EnumToStringUsingDescription))] Enum HowNice { [Description("Really Nice")] ReallyNice, [Description("Kinda Nice")] SortOfNice, [Description("Not Nice At All")] NotNice } </code></pre> <p>All I need to change in my current enum is add this line before their declaration.</p> <pre><code>[TypeConverter(typeof(EnumToStringUsingDescription))] </code></pre> <p>Once I do that, any enum will get displayed using the <code>DescriptionAttribute</code> of its fields.</p> <p>Oh, and the <code>TypeConverter</code> would be defined like this:</p> <pre><code>public class EnumToStringUsingDescription : TypeConverter { public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType) { return (sourceType.Equals(typeof(Enum))); } public override bool CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type destinationType) { return (destinationType.Equals(typeof(String))); } public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value) { return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value); } public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType) { if (!destinationType.Equals(typeof(String))) { throw new ArgumentException("Can only convert to string.", "destinationType"); } if (!value.GetType().BaseType.Equals(typeof(Enum))) { throw new ArgumentException("Can only convert an instance of enum.", "value"); } string name = value.ToString(); object[] attrs = value.GetType().GetField(name).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false); return (attrs.Length &gt; 0) ? ((DescriptionAttribute)attrs[0]).Description : name; } } </code></pre> <p>This helps me with my ComboBox case, but obviously doesn't actually override the <code>ToString()</code>. I guess I'll settle for this meanwhile...</p>

    1. COYou're handling Enum -> String, but you will also need Enum > InstanceDescriptor, and String -> Enum if you want a complete implementation. But I guess displaying it is enough for your needs at the moment. ;)

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
