Hi Igor Panteleev,

Our online and downloadable demos contain special section that demonstrates master-detail scenarios. You can find those demos under GridView -> Hierarchy. You could also take a look at our documentation.

CardView is not available at the moment but you could possibly create a custom row style which mimics cardview appearance. Our Custom Row Layout sample could be used as a reference.

One way to integrate database access easily it to use Entity Model. I have prepared a sample application that demonstrates this approach. As you will see, saving changes is as easy as calling a single method.You could also try our own Enterpris-grade ORM tool called OpenAccess

Hi Igor Panteleev,

Using LINQ to SQL is just as easy as using Entity Framework. I have updated the original sample to use LINQ to SQL as well.

Hello Igor Panteleev,

You can use the Refresh method of the SQLDataContext to update the data. Here is the updates code for Windows!.xaml.cs - here I am using DispatcherTimer to update the data every 30 seconds (be advised that data update can be slow)

AdventureWorksEntities dataContext;

DataClasses1DataContext sqlDataContext;

IQueryable<Contact> sqlData;

public Window1()

{

InitializeComponent();

this.dataContext = new AdventureWorksEntities();

var data = from customer in this.dataContext.Customer

where customer.TerritoryID == 4

select customer;

this.playersGrid.ItemsSource = data;

this.sqlDataContext = new DataClasses1DataContext();

this.sqlData = from contact in this.sqlDataContext.Contacts

where contact.FirstName.Contains("a")

select contact;

this.playersGrid2.ItemsSource = sqlData;

DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();

timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);

timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);

timer.Start();

}

void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.sqlDataContext.Refresh(System.Data.Linq.RefreshMode.KeepChanges, this.sqlData);

}

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

this.dataContext.SaveChanges();

this.sqlDataContext.SubmitChanges();

}
