    <p>For example: I have an Contact object on the form (see below). Can i set the datasource propery of the BindingSource to be the property Contact.Addresses.</p> <p>The class AddressCollection implements BindingList so there is no issue binding this when not encapsulated by the Contact class.</p> <pre><code>public class Contact : IComparable&lt;Contact&gt;, IComponent { #region Properties private AddressCollection addresses = new AddressCollection(); private ContactNumberCollection contactNumbers = new ContactNumberCollection(); public int ContactId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Forename { get; set; } public string MiddleName { get; set; } public string Surname { get; set; } public string JobTitle { get; set; } public DateTime DateAdded { get; set; } public DateTime LastUpdate { get; set; } public AddressCollection Addresses { get { return addresses; } set { addresses = value; } } public ContactNumberCollection ContactNumbers { get { return contactNumbers; } set { contactNumbers = value; } } #endregion #region Constructors public Contact() { DateAdded = DateTime.Now; LastUpdate = DateTime.Now; } #endregion public int CompareTo(Contact other) { return FullName.CompareTo(other.FullName); } #region IComponent Objects private ISite mSite; public event EventHandler Disposed; public virtual void Dispose() { if ((mSite != null) &amp;&amp; (mSite.Container != null)) { mSite.Container.Remove(this); } Disposed(this, System.EventArgs.Empty); } public ISite Site { get { return mSite; } set { mSite = value; } } #endregion } </code></pre> <p>Thanks Anthony</p>

    1. CORe your question - you can bind just as easily to a single item without any need for the collection.

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.
