how can I access the parent object field through custom object

Hi,

 

         I have a look up on custom object student to a custom object class. I was trying to access the name of class through SOQL but it is returning the ID instead of the class name.. So how can I access the class name itself instead of the ID..

hi,

 

You have to use obj.id.fieldname

then it returns the name associated with the id.

studentName = [Select name, Class__r.Name From student__c ];
system.debug(studentName);
