@ Alex...i'm unclear about your questions... I have a datagrid that displays a table of all rows of the given collection. When I select a row that record is supposed to display in a separate - a detail - form.
The problem probably traces to the fact that the datagrid doesn't define columns for each of the fields specified in the type 'Slide' - the datagrid has columns representing only a subset of the properties in 'Slide'. But if so, shouldn't that cause either a runtime (if not a compile-time) error? thx to all --steve...
