Thanks for the video Peter! I'm wondering what the advantage of using a display method is over adding a new data source? If a value exists in another table (ie. it's not something that you are calculating in the method as in your example), why would you choose to use a display method as a way to lookup the value, when you could just add the datasource that already contains the value? Given that you cannot filter the display method, I'm assuming there are some other advantages that make it more appropriate than adding a data source? Thanks!
Great as usual, but please could you run the project to see the result of your code in next videos to get more benefit. Thank you so much for your effort
Thanks. I will try to remember this. I try to zoom in and make the font bigger when I remember and when I can make it fit. Comments like this help me know when the font is too small thanks.
Hi, thanks so much for this. Pretty sure I followed steps correctly, had no code or build errors, and table shows data in table browser, but opening form in front end shows no form at all. I did create the form and set data source as table first, THEN went back and created the table display method, table field group, added display method to field group, deleted FormGridControl's individual fields and added the new field group instead. All form items have table as data source, FormGridControl has data group set and display method control has data method set. Could it just be anomaly of the order in which I created / added elements?
Actually I think I see the issue, at 3:12 you show the display method code, there are other methods before the displayMakeAndModel method that concatenates the MakeID and ModelID fields...
Really a massive topic sir, I learnt much. I have a one doubt as I know display method we can't filter anymore. Is there any other way to do.? Like quicker filter :) would be great if you could elaborate sir :)
Hi Riyas. Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there is not a way to filter if you use a display method. If you want to filter, you would need to add more datasources to the form, and then add the field of a datasource on the form. A quickfilter will not work on a display method column.
Hey Peter, good job 👍👏
this videos answered so many questions i had before
I am so glad! Thank you for your comment!
Thank you, your posts are very helpful for me as a Beginner.
I am so glad. Thank you for your comment.
Very Good Peter

Very nice, bundles of thanks :)!
Thank you!
Very nice, helped me out a lot.
Thanks Peter for this. Could you please create a video on edit method?
Definitely! I had planned to do the next. 😁
Great as usual, but please could you run the project to see the result of your code in next videos to get more benefit.
Thank you so much for your effort
Yes, I can do that. Thank you for that feedback.
Thanks for such an informative video!
It would be better if the fonts are bigger than the current size in the new videos
Thanks. I will try to remember this. I try to zoom in and make the font bigger when I remember and when I can make it fit. Comments like this help me know when the font is too small thanks.

Can you post anything regarding Odata?
Please check out my videos on building custom services as a start. I plan on creating some videos on building data entities in the future.
