Hi everybody,
I hope I'm missing something really simple here and hope that you guys can help me out.
I'm writing a C# application that connects to a local database (service-based database), in this database I obviously have several tables and also one view which shows different parts of three tables.
In the application itself I'm showing (and editing/updating) the tables in a bunch of DataGridViews. The editing and subsequent updating of the tables is no problem, so far so good. However in one of my DataGridViews im not accesing a table directly but instead showing the view mentioned above. Displaying the information that is already in the databse is no problem, however when I edit data there, I seem not to be capable of updating the underlying tables. I presume this should be relativly simple to accomplish, but I seem to be missing something.
The way I update all of the other tables would be:

myTableAdapter.Update(myDataSet.MyTable)

How can I do something comparable with the view?

Solution 1

If the DataGridView displaying the View was bound to a BindingSource and the BindingSource was bound to the Database, it should update automatically but can be prompted to do so by use of the BindingSource.ResetBindings[^] method.

Hope this helps. :)
