Using TClientDataSet Part 2

We now continue our journey learning about TClientDataSet, picking up from where we left off Part 1.  In this part we finish covering the properties, events and methods of TClientDataSet that relate to local datasets (that is to say, not connecting to a database or multi-tier development).  After finishing both Part 1 and 2 you should have a very good understanding of how TClientDataSet and it's ancestor TDataSet work.

I very much like the style of your videos, a little informal and conversational at times which helps to understand the thought process behind the code.  I’d like to thank you for your free videos, there a fantastic resource for people like myself who struggle on in almost complete isolation.  I’ve watched most of your free videos and I have purchased both of your Delphi videos. I’ll definitely purchase number three when you get it done.
