    <p>I'm trying to develop user control with some nested properties that allows to use databinding to set it. For example, I have something like this:</p> <pre><code>// Top level control public class MyControl : Control { public string TopLevelTestProperty { get { return (string)GetValue(TopLevelTestPropertyProperty); } set { SetValue(TopLevelTestPropertyProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty TopLevelTestPropertyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("TopLevelTestProperty", typeof(string), typeof (MyControl), new UIPropertyMetadata("")); // This property contains nested object public MyNestedType NestedObject { get { return (MyNestedType)GetValue(NestedObjectProperty); } set { SetValue(NestedObjectProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty NestedObjectProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("NestedObject", typeof(MyNestedType), typeof (MyControl), new UIPropertyMetadata(null)); } // Nested object's type public class MyNestedType : DependencyObject { public string NestedTestProperty { get { return (string)GetValue(NestedTestPropertyProperty); } set { SetValue(NestedTestPropertyProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty NestedTestPropertyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("NestedTestProperty", typeof(string), typeof (MyNestedType), new UIPropertyMetadata("")); } // Sample data context public class TestDataContext { public string Value { get { return "TEST VALUE!!!"; } } } ... this.DataContext = new TestDataContext(); ... </code></pre> <p>XAML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;local:mycontrol x:name="myControl" topleveltestproperty="{Binding Value}" &gt; &lt;local:mycontrol.nestedobject&gt; &lt;local:mynestedtype x:name="myNestedControl" nestedtestproperty="{Binding Value}" /&gt; &lt;/local:mycontrol.nestedobject&gt; &lt;/local:mycontrol&gt; </code></pre> <p>It works well for property TopLevelTestProperty, but it doesn't work for NestedTestProperty. It seems that nested bindings do not work. Can anybody help me please? Is there any way to make such binding? I think that it happens because of my nested object has no any reference to the top level object, so it cannot be resolved using MyControl's DataContext.</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.
