DeleteCommand Property (SqlDataTable)

On this page

Gets or sets a SQL Server statement to delete records from the data set.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#


'Declaration Public Shadows Property DeleteCommand As SqlCommand


public new SqlCommand DeleteCommand {get; set;}

Property Value

A SqlCommand used during an update operation to delete records in the data source that correspond to deleted rows in the System.Data.DataSet.

Remarks

Typically you do not need to use DeleteCommand when working with SqlDataTable. All simple update operations are performed automatically using embedded CommandBuilder. DeleteCommand enables you to perform specific operations like shown in the sample below.

DeleteCommand uses its own Connection if it is created. Otherwise DeleteCommand uses Connection.

Example

This sample shows how to modify and display data using SqlDataTable.

csharp


public void UseDataTable(SqlConnection myConnection) { SqlDataTable myDataTable = new SqlDataTable("SELECT * FROM Test.Dept", myConnection); try { myDataTable.Active = true; myDataTable.Rows[1].Delete(); myDataTable.DeleteCommand = new SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Test.Emp WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo;DELETE FROM Test.Dept WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo", myConnection); myDataTable.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("DeptNo", SqlType.Int, 0, "DeptNo").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original; myDataTable.Update(); foreach(DataRow myRow in myDataTable.Rows) { foreach(DataColumn myCol in myDataTable.Columns) { Console.Write(myRow[myCol]+"\t"); } Console.WriteLine(); } } finally { myDataTable.Active = false; } }

public void UseDataTable(SqlConnection myConnection)
{
  SqlDataTable myDataTable = new SqlDataTable("SELECT * FROM Test.Dept", myConnection);
  try
  {
    myDataTable.Active = true;
    myDataTable.Rows[1].Delete();
    myDataTable.DeleteCommand = new SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Test.Emp WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo;DELETE FROM Test.Dept WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo", myConnection);
    myDataTable.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("DeptNo", SqlType.Int, 0, "DeptNo").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;
    myDataTable.Update();

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

    myDataTable.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("DeptNo", SqlType.Int, 0, "DeptNo").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original
    myDataTable.Update()

    Dim myRow As DataRow
    Dim myCol As DataColumn
    For Each myRow In myDataTable.Rows
      For Each myCol In myDataTable.Columns
