If i understand you correctly, you're actually trying to show all of
the values of a business object in some display?
Lets say you have a Customer, are you looking for a way to have a
control that binds directly to Customer?
In my opinion, even though it seems superfluous, one of the easy ways
to do this is make a Collection<Customer> with just the single customer
reference in it. Then Databind the collection to DetailsView with
AutoGenerateColumns=true.
This gives you a spit out of the current object, and is by no means
glamorous, but does allow for a 'propertygrid' feel directly on your
custom type.
hope this helps.
