    <p>It sounds like you want your dictionary to have values of varying type; in other words, that a single dictionary might hold a <code>Func&lt;Employee, string&gt;</code> and a <code>Func&lt;Customer, string&gt;</code>.</p> <p>If that is so, then you basically have no choice but to use a common base type for the <code>TValue</code> type argument, and cast the delegates when you retrieve them from the dictionary. The common base type could be <code>System.Delegate</code> or <code>System.Object</code>.</p> <p>(There are in fact other choices than this, but they just push the casting around to a different part of the design. For example, you could write a wrapper class that handles the casting for you. Such solutions don't generally stand up to a cost-benefit analysis, though.)</p> <blockquote> <p>My dictionary will only ever hold the same type, but in different scenarios I want it to be able to hold different types. The problem I have is casting from Func to Func throws the casting exception.</p> </blockquote> <p>In that case, it's not clear why you want to have a <code>Dictionary&lt;string, Func&lt;Object, string&gt;&gt;</code> rather than a <code>Dictionary&lt;string, Func&lt;Employee, string&gt;&gt;</code>. If any given dictionary will only hold one type of delegate, then create the dictionary accordingly:</p> <pre><code>Dictionary&lt;string, Func&lt;Employee, string&gt;&gt; dict = new Dictionary&lt;string, Func&lt;Employee, string&gt;&gt;(); </code></pre> <p>If the dictionary is a member of a generic class, or a local variable or parameter of a generic method, you can use type parameters in the dictionary's declaration:</p> <pre><code>class Processor&lt;T&gt; { void Process(T value, Dictionary&lt;string, Func&lt;T, string&gt;&gt; functions) { //... } } </code></pre>

    2. CO@bigtv why do you want to cast it? What do you mean by "different scenarios"? I added some thoughts; I'll add more if you can clarify.

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.
