Summary

You should now have the ability to create a summary list view, and the knowledge to choose the most appropriate approach to populate it with data. You've learned that the DataGrid control is an easy way to implement a summary list, but the ListBox control is often a better choice due to its flexibility. You've learned how a collection view can be used to wrap a collection, and manipulate the collection without modifying it. You've also learned about four key collection view types, and the scenarios that each is best suited to. Finally, you learned how the user can drill down on an item in a summary list to display/edit its details. In the next chapter, we'll look at how you can actually enable users to edit the details of a record and submit the changes back to the server.
