    <p>Everything in my coding works except the get and set name functions. When I call getName, it prints blank. I've tried a few different solutions, but the only thing that has worked is actually saving the fullName string inside of main, and calling it from there. It's almost as if it's not letting me call the variables because they are private.</p> <p>Here is my .cpp file.</p> <pre><code>#ifndef STUDENT_H #define STUDENT_H #include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;string&gt; #include "Student.h" using namespace std; int main() { //for student name string firstName; string lastName; string fullName; //student name cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter your students first name" &lt;&lt; endl; cin &gt;&gt; firstName; cout &lt;&lt; "firstName = " &lt;&lt; firstName &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter your students last name" &lt;&lt; endl; cin &gt;&gt; lastName; cout &lt;&lt; "lastName = " &lt;&lt; lastName &lt;&lt; endl; aStudent.setName(firstName, lastName); fullName = aStudent.getName(); cout &lt;&lt; "Your students name is : "; cout &lt;&lt; fullName &lt;&lt; endl; } #endif </code></pre> <p>Here are my functions, and class, .h file.</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;string&gt; #include &lt;conio.h&gt; using namespace std; class Student { private: string fName; string lName; public: string getName(); void setName(string firstName, string lastName); }; string Student::getName() { return fName + " " + lName; } void Student::setName(std::string firstName, std::string lastName) { firstName = fName; lastName = lName; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
