Displaying other data in a View list

It's very common to have foreign keys in a list of data. When Viewing the list, I need to display other data, not the foreign key.

i.e. When I have a foreign key to a Customers table, I need to display the CustomerName, not the key.
Someone please tell me there is a way to do this with AR.Net. Thank you.

It works this way by default. Make sure you select CustomerName as a 'Display field' and it will be shown on all Edit/View/Print pages.
