i seem to write this code over and over again and wanted to see if there was a better way of doing it more generically. I start out with a list of Foo objects <pre><code>Foo[] foos = GenerateFoos(); </code></pre> I think want to create a dictionary where the key and value are both properties of Foo for example: <pre><code>Dictionary<string, string> fooDict = new Dictionary<string, string>(): foreach (Foo foo in foos) { fooDict[foo.Name] = foo.StreetAddress; } </code></pre> is there anyway of writing this code generically as it seems like a basic template where there is an array of objects, a key property a value property and a dictionary. Any suggestions? I am using VS 2005 (C#, 2.0)

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.
