Question about DataTable

Hi,

If I want to programatically add rows to a DataTable, do I call
AcceptChanges per row? Or do I call AcceptChanges after all rows added?

TIA

Hello Danny,

That really depends on the scenario. If you add a lot of rows and will use
the dataadapter to persist them to the databse, don't call AcceptChanges
until you done just that.

da.Update(dt)
dt.AcceptChange s();

AcceptChanges will effectivly reset the state flag for each row to indicate
that it hasn't changed.

Danny,

You don't have to call AcceptChanges.

If you call AcceptChanges, it will set the row state of the row to
unchanged. If you then pass this datatable to a data adapter, it will not
process the row when you try to update your back end data source.

If there is no back end data source, and you have no need for looking at
the row state, then that is fine.

When you are done, you can call AcceptChanges on the DataTable, and it
will make sure that AcceptChanges is called on all of the rows. If you have
a large number of rows in the table, you might want to call AcceptChanges on
each row as you add it (after creating it) through each iteration of your
loop, but that might be considered a premature optimization. You should
only do this if you find that making the call on the DataTable has proven to
be inefficient.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,

Thank you for your response.

I am not clear about what you meant by : "pass this datatable to a data
adapter"

My understanding is:
DataAdapter adds a DataTable into a Dataset via da.Fill(ds,"myd t") method.
Then I can insert rows into the datatable and call da.Update method to save
data into backend server. In order for changes in a datatable to be saved to
backend, it must use the same DataAdapter that put it in Dataset.

Please elaborate and correct my confusion.

Thanks Again!

Danny,

Well, you don't necessarily have to use a data set that is filled with a
DataAdapter. As long as the structures match up with the various commands
in the adapter, it will work.

I was referring to the Update method. If you call AcceptChanges before
you pass your DataTable to the Update method, it will see the DataTable as
having no changes in it, and then it will do nothing.

Danny,

You can add rows and set values on the data table yourself. For adds,
you just add the new row. For edits and deletes, you would have to create
the row in the data table, and then call AcceptChanges on the ROW. Once you
do that, you would have to delete the row or change a value in the row so
that the state is set to delete or edit.

Then you can pass that to your data adapter.
