UpdateRows Method

In This Topic

Executes the appropriate commands to delete, insert, or update the specified rows in the data source.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function UpdateRows( _
   ByVal datarows() As DataRow _
) As Integer

public int UpdateRows( 
   DataRow[] datarows
)

Parameters

datarows: An array of System.Data.DataRow objects containing the rows to be updated.

Return Value

The number of rows successfully updated from the DbDataTable.

Remarks

Using this method may result in performance gains, for example, on very big tables. If the CachedUpdates property is false, the method does nothing, because changes are applied instantly.

Example

The following code adds two records to a table and updates them. The table is rendered then to console.

csharp

static void UpdateATable(DbDataTable myDataTable, IDbConnection myConnection)
{
  myDataTable.Connection = myConnection;
  myDataTable.SelectCommand = myConnection.CreateCommand();
  myDataTable.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT EmpNo, EName FROM Emp";
  try
  {
    myDataTable.Active = true;
    DataRow[] newRows = new DataRow[2];
    newRows[0] = myDataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] {20000,"Jefferson"});
    newRows[1] = myDataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] {20001,"Jameson"});
    myDataTable.UpdateRows(newRows);

    foreach(DataRow myRow in myDataTable.Rows)
    {
      foreach(DataColumn myCol in myDataTable.Columns)
      {
        Console.Write(myRow[myCol]+"\t");
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    myDataTable.Active = false;
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub UpdateATable(ByVal myDataTable As DbDataTable, ByVal myConnection As IDbConnection)
  myDataTable.Connection = myConnection
  myDataTable.SelectCommand = myConnection.CreateCommand()
  myDataTable.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT EmpNo, EName FROM Emp"
  Try
    myDataTable.Active = True
    Dim newVal1() As Object = {20000, "Jefferson"}
    Dim newVal2() As Object = {20001, "Jameson"}
    Dim newRows(1) As DataRow
    newRows(0) = myDataTable.Rows.Add(newVal1)
    newRows(1) = myDataTable.Rows.Add(newVal2)
    myDataTable.UpdateRows(newRows)

    Dim myRow As DataRow
    Dim myCol As DataColumn
    For Each myRow In myDataTable.Rows
      For Each myCol In myDataTable.Columns
        Console.Write(myRow(myCol) & Chr(9))
      Next myCol
      Console.WriteLine()
    Next myRow
  Finally
    myDataTable.Active = False
  End Try
End Sub
