    <p>Regarding F# self-identifier's as in:</p> <pre><code>type MyClass2 = let data = 123 member whateverYouWant.PrintMessage() = printf "MyClass2 with Data %d" data </code></pre> <p>The <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233205.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">F# class documentation</a> says:</p> <blockquote> <p>Unlike in other .NET languages, you can name the self identifier however you want; you are not restricted to names such as self, Me, or this.</p> </blockquote> <p>(The answer to the question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5355334/what-are-the-benefits-of-such-flexible-self-identifiers-in-f">What are the benefits of such flexible &quot;self-identifiers&quot; in F#?</a> explains the possible usefulness of this.)</p> <p>My question is, is there perhaps an unofficial standard of what to name the self-identifier? That is, while there may not be a <em>prescriptive</em> convention, is there a <em>descriptive</em> convention of what are F# programmers doing in the wild? <code>this</code>? <code>x</code>? <code>self</code>?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Well looks like this may get closed, but the answer to the other question is hardly an answer as it's just showing multiple options which I'm already aware of. I'm looking for a consensus. Also, that question was asked in 2009 and there might not have been a consensus at that time, while there may be one now.</p> <p>Also interesting is the book <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1430246502" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Expert F# 3.0</a> authored by Don Syme does not use a consistent self-identifier in the examples. Rather it seems to favor single letter self identifiers especially the letter <code>x</code>.</p>

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.
