I was trying to learn a little bit more about WPF (.NET 3.0) data binding and using my knowledge about LINQ to SQL (.NET 3.5) at the same time. So I created a small tutorial how to create nice looking WPF treeviews which are populated with data using LINQ to SQL.

• LINQ to SQL : Fetching master-detail
