Custom Object __c __c

Represents a custom object.
The custom object name is a variable with the syntax CUSTOM_OBJECT__c, where CUSTOM_OBJECT is the object’s Name associated with the record, followed by two underscores and c. For example, a custom object labeled “Issue” in the Salesforce user interface is Issue__c in that organization’s WSDL.

System fields and properties behave the same on custom objects as they do on standard objects, unless otherwise noted in the following details.
