    Establishes query-based master-detail relation.

    Remarks

    The ParentDataRelation class is designed to establish a master-detail relationship where details data is not cached on the client. Every time the current position in the master table is changed, the client DbDataTable requests the appropriate portion of data from the server.

    Use property ParentTable to specify master DbDataTable, and the properties ParentColumnNames and ChildColumnNames to describe the relationiship.

    Note that this feature can be used only for two instances of DbDataTable class that have same DbDataTable.Owner. In other words, the DbDataTable objects must reside on the same forms.

    Example
    The following example shows how to render related data in two grids.
    OracleConnection connection = new OracleConnection(
        "User Id=Scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=Ora;");
    connection.Open();
    OracleDataTable deptTable = new OracleDataTable("SELECT * FROM dept", connection);
    OracleDataTable empTable = new OracleDataTable("SELECT * FROM emp", connection);
    empTable.ParentRelation.ParentTable = deptTable;
    empTable.ParentRelation.ParentColumnNames = new string[] { "deptno" };
    empTable.ParentRelation.ChildColumnNames = new string[] { "deptno" };
    deptTable.Owner = this;
    empTable.Owner = this;
    deptTable.FetchAll = true;
    empTable.FetchAll = true;
    deptTable.Open();
    empTable.Open();
    deptDataGrid.DataSource = deptTable;
    empDataGrid.DataSource = empTable;
    Dim connection As New OracleConnection( _
        "User Id=Scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=Ora;")
    connection.Open()
    Dim deptTable As New OracleDataTable("SELECT * FROM dept", connection)
    Dim empTable As New OracleDataTable("SELECT * FROM emp", connection)
    empTable.ParentRelation.ParentTable = deptTable
    empTable.ParentRelation.ParentColumnNames = New String() {"deptno"}
    empTable.ParentRelation.ChildColumnNames = New String() {"deptno"}
    deptTable.Owner = Me
    empTable.Owner = Me
    deptTable.FetchAll = True
    empTable.FetchAll = True
    deptTable.Open()
    empTable.Open()
    deptDataGrid.DataSource = deptTable
    empDataGrid.DataSource = empTable
