Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Shadows Property KeyFields As String
 

Property Value

The string containing list of key field names separated by semicolon.
Remarks

This property is used when the ConflictOption property is set to OverwriteChanges, otherwise all columns will be used in the WHERE clause.

If KeyFields is nonempty, its value is used as the list of columns for the WHERE clause. If KeyFields is empty, the primary key columns are used.

Example
The following example demonstrates how UPDATE and DELETE statements are generated.
public void UseKeyFields(string connectionString) {

        ExactTargetConnection conn = new ExactTargetConnection(connectionString);
        conn.Open();

        ExactTargetDataAdapter adapter = new ExactTargetDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Email", conn);
        ExactTargetCommandBuilder commBuilder = new ExactTargetCommandBuilder(adapter);

        commBuilder.ConflictOption = ConflictOption.OverwriteChanges;

        commBuilder.KeyFields = "ID, Name";

        string updateComm = commBuilder.GetUpdateCommand().CommandText;
        string deleteComm = commBuilder.GetDeleteCommand().CommandText;

        Console.WriteLine(updateComm);
        Console.WriteLine(deleteComm);
        conn.Close();
}
Public Sub UseKeyFields(ByVal connectionString As String)
        Dim conn As ExactTargetConnection = New ExactTargetConnection(connectionString)
        conn.Open()

        Dim adapter As ExactTargetDataAdapter = New ExactTargetDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Email", conn)
        Dim commBuilder As ExactTargetCommandBuilder = New ExactTargetCommandBuilder(adapter)

        commBuilder.ConflictOption = ConflictOption.OverwriteChanges

        commBuilder.KeyFields = "ID, Name"

        Dim updateComm As String = commBuilder.GetUpdateCommand().CommandText
        Dim deleteComm As String = commBuilder.GetDeleteCommand().CommandText

        Console.WriteLine(updateComm)
        Console.WriteLine(deleteComm)
        conn.Close()
End Sub
