    <p>if you use the converter it works for the first time perfect, but if one or more logging comes to the logging list, there is no update on your binding, because the converter works only at the first time. all controls that are no item controls doesn't subscribe to the listchanged event!</p> <p>here is a little code for this scenario</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.ObjectModel; using System.Windows; namespace BindListToTextBlock { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml /// &lt;/summary&gt; public partial class MainWindow : Window { private WorkItem workItem; public MainWindow() { this.WorkItems = new ObservableCollection&lt;WorkItem&gt;(); this.DataContext = this; this.InitializeComponent(); } public class WorkItem { public WorkItem() { this.Logs = new ObservableCollection&lt;string&gt;(); } public string Name { get; set; } public ObservableCollection&lt;string&gt; Logs { get; private set; } } public ObservableCollection&lt;WorkItem&gt; WorkItems { get; set; } private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { this.workItem = new WorkItem() {Name = string.Format("new item at {0}", DateTime.Now)}; this.workItem.Logs.Add("first log"); this.WorkItems.Add(this.workItem); } private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (this.workItem != null) { this.workItem.Logs.Add(string.Format("more log {0}", DateTime.Now)); } } } } </code></pre> <p>the xaml</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="BindListToTextBlock.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:BindListToTextBlock="clr-namespace:BindListToTextBlock" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;BindListToTextBlock:ListToStringConverter x:Key="ListToStringConverter" /&gt; &lt;/Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="Auto" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="Auto" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition /&gt; &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;Button Grid.Row="0" Content="Add item..."

    3. COThanks, but I ended up using a MultiValueConverter and binding to the collection's Count property, which has for effect to update the Text property every time the collection is update. See my answer to another similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4353186/binding-observablecollection-to-a-textbox/8847910#8847910.

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).
