Updating Databases in VB.NET

[TDS News]

Here's my code...

Private oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection()
Private oCommand As New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
Private oDataAdapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter()
Private oDataSet As New DataSet()

Public Event Err()

Public Sub Init()

Dim Row As DataRow

oConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" & Application.StartupPath & "\WinMUX.mdb;Persist Security
Info=False"

oCommand.CommandText = "SELECT Name FROM Objects"
oCommand.Connection = oConn
oCommand.CommandTimeout = 30
oDataAdapter.SelectCommand = oCommand
oDataAdapter.Fill(oDataSet, "Objects")

For Each Row In oDataSet.Tables("Objects").Rows
MsgBox(Row("Name"))
If Row("Name") = "Brimstone" Then
Row("Name") = "NotBrimstone"
End If
Next
oDataAdapter.Update(oDataSet, "Objects")

End Sub

I know it isn't the prettiest code but I'm just trying to figure this Data
Access stuff out in .NET. How do I update the data in the database with
what has been changed in the Dataset? I'm completely lost. With ADO you
used to just call the adoRecordset.Update method. What do you do now?

The code looks good. I didn't test it but it should work - or does it not?
oDataAdapter.Update should update the data source.

Hi,

I was first thinking the same as Armin and fortunatly I saw it, there was no
commandbuilder. (That makes all kind of commands from your select)
I also added something about haschanges and getchanges, but that is not the
reason why it is not updating, that is just ment as a little bit optimizing.

Watch typos, because I did type it in your style.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Cor,

Thanks! That helped a whole lot. I'm finally getting the hang of it.
The CommandBuilder was a huge time saver. I was building every command by
hand and that was very tedious.
