    <p><code>ItemsControl</code> is designed for creating dynamic collections of UI controls from other collections, even non-UI data collections.</p> <p>You can template an <code>ItemsControl</code> to draw on a <code>Canvas</code>. The ideal way would involve setting the backing panel to a <code>Canvas</code> and then setting the <code>Canvas.Left</code> and <code>Canvas.Top</code> properties on the immediate children. I could not get this to work because <code>ItemsControl</code> wraps its children with containers and it is hard to set the <code>Canvas</code> properties on these containers. </p> <p>Instead, I use a <code>Grid</code> as a bin for all of the items and draw them each on their own <code>Canvas</code>. There is some overhead with this approach.</p> <pre><code>&lt;ItemsControl x:Name="Collection" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"&gt; &lt;ItemsControl.ItemsPanel&gt; &lt;ItemsPanelTemplate&gt; &lt;Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/&gt; &lt;/ItemsPanelTemplate&gt; &lt;/ItemsControl.ItemsPanel&gt; &lt;ItemsControl.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:MyPoint}"&gt; &lt;Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"&gt; &lt;Ellipse Width="10" Height="10" Fill="Black" Canvas.Left="{Binding X}" Canvas.Top="{Binding Y}"/&gt; &lt;/Canvas&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ItemsControl.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/ItemsControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's the code behind that I used to set up the source collection:</p> <pre><code>List&lt;MyPoint&gt; points = new List&lt;MyPoint&gt;(); points.Add(new MyPoint(2, 100)); points.Add(new MyPoint(50, 20)); points.Add(new MyPoint(200, 200)); points.Add(new MyPoint(300, 370)); Collection.ItemsSource = points; </code></pre> <p><code>MyPoint</code> is a custom class that behaves just like the <code>System</code> version. I created it to demonstrate that you can use your own custom classes.</p> <p>One final detail: You can bind the ItemsSource property to any collection you want. For example: </p> <pre><code>&lt;ItemsControls ItemsSource="{Binding Document.Items}"&gt;&lt;!--etc, etc...--&gt; </code></pre> <p>For further details about ItemsControl and how it works, check out these documents: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.itemscontrol.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSDN Library Reference</a>; <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742521.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Data Templating</a>; <a href="http://www.drwpf.com/blog/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/13/Default.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Dr WPF's series on ItemsControl</a>.</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.
