Hi Sameer,
You can't use the feature of local data storage, if the data class has been created from the data explorer. After creating the data type, you can add properties to it. Once properties are added, you can use the feature of local data storage, and populate values to the properties, with out need to manually maintain database table.

Hi,
1)Creation of a datatype from the data explorer, lets you create a datapages,properties, and insert values to them easily i.e those can be done at the time of creation of datatype itself.
2)If you dont use the 'AddDataType' and if you directly create a data class, from records explorer, it wont get listed in the dataexplorer.
3)Also Data Explorer lists all the datatypes, present in your application, and so can be easily understood, how data is being managed in the application.
4)Also you can use feature of importing .csv file to add or update data for a data type

Thanks for the answer,
I also want to know whether it is possible to create a local data storage after creating a data class from records explorer and every other thing which are capable with data type created using data explorer.
