    <p>I have a usercontrol bound to a VM. This VM contains a collection property, lets call it "MyCollection" and several regular properties lets call one of them "SomeProperty". As you can see, the get and set logic for this property references the collection in the VM.</p> <p>The problem is, when I make a change to "MyCollection", this obviously has an impact on the values that are shown in the UI (as they are calculated based on it). However, my UI doesn't appear to be smart enough to update itself whenever "MyCollection" changes.</p> <p>Here is the VM my usercontrol is bound to:</p> <pre><code>public class MyVM { private ObservableCollection&lt;SomeOtherVM&gt; _myCollection = new ObservableCollection&lt;SomeOtherVM&gt;(); public MyVM() { } public ObservableCollection&lt;SomeOtherVM&gt; MyCollection { get { return _myCollection; } [Notify] set { _myCollection = value; } } public virtual string SomeProperty { get { if (_myCollection.Count == 1) return _myCollection[0].SomeProperty; else return "More than one "SomeOtherVM" has been selected"; } [Notify] set { foreach (SomeOtherVM s in _myCollection) { s.SomeProperty = value; } } } } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Note that nothing in my usercontrol is directly bound to the collection, it is only bound to other properties that reference the collection in its get; set; methods.</p> <p>Is there anything I could do in the VM to force the UI to update whenever "MyCollection" is changed? I want to avoid having to put anything in the code behind for the user 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.
