So, Kursat, do you now understand why it needs a refresh to get those computed fields up to date, to reflect changes in the columns from which they are derived?

The term "update" with regard to datasets does not mean "update the buffers", it means "update the database". Until you do something that gets a fresh view of the data, the buffer is still showing you the view of the output that you got at the beginning of the transaction. To update the buffers, call Refresh or Invalidate.

If you are committing your changed rows one-by-one, call InvalidateRowNum() to have IBO re-fetch your row after a change. If you are allowing the user to decide when to commit a batch of rows, call InvalidateRows or Refresh instead.
