Question

Am using a DataSet and a TableAdapter to populate a Datagridview. The Datagridview allows inserting new records at the bottom. Now when I enter values for the new record in the Datagridview, the record is not automatically saved back to the database. Which event do U need to handle or what code do I need to write to get the new record saved back to the databse.

am using C#.

Are you calling the Update() method on the TableAdapter? The following code comes from MSDN’s discussion on the TableAdapter:

try 
{
    this.Validate();
    this.customersBindingSource.EndEdit();

    this.customersTableAdapter.Update(this.northwindDataSet.Customers);
    MessageBox.Show("Update successful"); 
} 
catch (System.Exception ex) 
{
    MessageBox.Show("Update failed"); 
}

There are various places where you can put this sort of logic – as Davide Piras suggests you could have a Save button on your form or if you want data to be saves as each row is entered you can have your save logic with the RowValidated event handler.
