" want to save changes "... so go ahead and do it. Telling someone what you want does not make it a question.

No , because I have no idea how to do that . If I have SqlDataAdapter Object , I could do that with SqlDataAdapter.Update() method , But I only have DataTable Object !

First, I would recommend against using DataTables with WCF. The reason is that WCF is supposed to be all about interoperability, meaning that any client can use the WCF service (Java, jQuery, .NET, etc.) However, when you use a Microsoft-specific format like DataTable, you are breaking that compability. Instead, I would recommend sending back strongly-typed models instead, since everyone can play with these.

Either way, you are going to need to create new methods on your WCF service to expose update points. For instance, you might create a method called UpdateTable that takes in a model or set of models. Your WCF service would then use the data to update your database with the provided data.
