dwick Retrieving the id of the master from the sObject of the detail.
Hi,
I have a master-detail relationship between 2 sObjects, we'll call them master__c and detail__c to make things easier. Here's what I'm doing:
list<detail__c> lDetail = Database.Query('SELECT ... WHERE filterCondition');The reason for the use of database.query is the query string is actually determined dynamically.
Later on in the class, I would like to retrieve the Id of master__c within a particular row of the list.
sID = lObject[i].get(master__c),
Error: Compile Error: Variable does not exist: master__c
sID = lObject[i].get(lObject[i].master__c)
Error: Compile Error: Field expression not allowed for generic SObject at line 58 column 83
Any ideas here? It's probably something simple, I can never seem to find the documentation I need.
The Id of master__c is just stored as a foreign key on a field on detail__c - it's probably just called master__c or something - check on the ldetail object. If you include it in the select, you can just retrieve it like any other field on detail...

The reason it wasn't working is because lObject was an input to a function and was declared as a generic sObject. The detail object, lDetail, was passed to that function, however I guess you only have access to custom fields if the object is declared as the specific custom sObject type. Good to know I, thanks for the help.
