Body
I have an object, <code>RenderComponent</code>, that has a property named <code>Model</code> that is of type <code>StaticModel</code>. When I get the <code>PropertyInfo</code> of my <code>RenderComponent</code> and then call <code>GetValue()</code> on it, it is giving me a TargetException, saying "Object does not match target type." I'll write a small sample of code to give you the gist of what is failing. Here's the hierarchy: <pre><code>public class RenderComponent { StaticModel Model; } public class StaticModel { } </code></pre> And I'm essentially doing this: <pre><code>RenderComponent renderComponent = new RenderComponent(); PropertyInfo[] props = type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance); foreach (PropertyInfo info in props) { // I get the exception here Object value = info.GetValue(renderComponent, null); } </code></pre> My program is of course much more complicated, but I still don't see how it could be failing. I must be missing something simple. I get the exception on this line: <code>info.GetValue(obj, null)</code> Where <code>info</code> is the <code>PropertyInfo</code> of <code>StaticModel</code>, and <code>obj</code> is an instantiated <code>RenderComponent</code>. When I stop at this exception and do a watch on obj, I can actual step through the hierarchy until I get to my StaticModel value, and it exists and has the data I would expect. I'm sure if I took the small code sample I posted in this thread it would work fine, so it has to be something with how I'm calling it within my engine, I just don't see how GetValue can fail when obj clearly has that value within it. Here's a screenshot of me debugging 'obj' and finding the StaticModel: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NMZNq.jpg" alt="enter image description here"> And here's the error I get: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GZdTF.jpg" alt="enter image description here"> And here you can see the values of <code>obj</code> and <code>info</code>, as proof that my object instance I'm passing is a RenderComponent, and the PropertyInfo I'm calling GetValue on is a Static Model (which is a member of RenderComponent, as you can see in the first image: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/FXOrM.jpg" alt="enter image description here">

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.
