If I fill a DataTable with DataAdapter.Fill(DataTable);
and then make changes to a row in the DataTable with something simple like this: DataTable.Rows[0]["Name"] = "New Name";
how can I easily save those changes back to the database? I assumed I could call DataAdapter.Update(DataTable);
but I read that only works with a TableAdapter(?).
Here is an actual helpful answer in case anyone else needs to know how to do this:
string selectStatement = "SELECT * FROM Contact";
System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable();
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter sqlDa = new SqlDataAdapter();
sqlDa.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(selectStatement, conn);
SqlCommandBuilder cb = new SqlCommandBuilder(sqlDa);
sqlDa.Fill(dt);
dt.Rows[0]["Name"] = "Some new data here";
sqlDa.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand();
sqlDa.Update(dt);
