Setting Column Values from the Code

• Add the OnStart override method

public class DemoLocalColumns : UIControllerBase
{
    public readonly DateColumn FromDate = new DateColumn("From Date");
    public readonly DateColumn ToDate = new DateColumn("To Date");
    public DemoLocalColumns()
    {
    }
    public void Run()
    {
        Execute();
    }
    protected override void OnLoad()
    {
        View = () => new Views.DemoLocalColumnsView(this);
    }
     protected override void OnStart()
     {
     }
} 

• Set the value of the FromDate and ToDate using their Value property - we use the '=' (equal) sign, to assign a value to the column

protected override void OnStart()
{
     FromDate.Value = Date.Now;
     ToDate.Value = FromDate.Value;
} 

• When we are setting a column value - we use the Value property.
• When we are getting a value from the column, we don't have to use the Value property - it is implicit. So Instead of writing:

ToDate.Value = FromDate.Value; 

We can write:

ToDate.Value = FromDate; 

• Exercise Local Columns
