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.
