Question

I want to save a record in the database using a dataset, but my data is not committing into my database.

My code can be viewed below:

Dim mydataset1 As New MyDataSet

Dim row As DataRow = mydataset1.Tables("testtable").NewRow()

With row
    .Item("name") = "Segun Omotayo"
    .Item("address") = "Abuja"
End With

mydataset1.Tables("testtable").Rows.Add(row)

Any help will be appreciated

I could be rusty here since its a long time since I wrote any VB.NET or used data adapters/datasets/datatables but I think if you decide to take that route you would need code like this:

Dim connection As New SqlConnection("#####YourConnectionString#####")
connection.Open()

Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM testtable", connection)

' For the line below to work, you must have a primary key field in "testtable"
Dim builder As New SqlCommandBuilder(adapter)

Dim testtable As New DataTable("testtable")

adapter.Fill(testtable)

Dim row As DataRow = testtable.NewRow()

With row
    .Item("name") = "Segun Omotayo"
    .Item("address") = "Abuja"
End With

testtable.Rows.Add(row)

adapter.Update(testtable)

connection.Close()
