dynamic biding of reference field

Hi All, I need some help with

Myobject__c c = new MyObject__c();

c.put('carrier__c', 'xyz'); // This works
c.put('Name__r.lastName__c', null); // THIS DOES NOT WORK when I view it through my VF page I get invalid field. For some reason REFERENCE to another field from other object does not work 

In developer console when I run query like Select Name__r.lastName__c From Myobject__c where id..... I can access Name__r.lastName__c

Hello Mastram,

To bind values using relationship fields you should use the putSObject method instead. 

Here is an example: 
Interaction__c test = new Interaction__c();

test.put('Points__c', 43);
test.putSObject('Contact__r', new Contact( LastName='contact'));

system.debug(test.Contact__r.LastName);

Please refer to:

Hope to have helped!
