[2005] Inserting Datatable straight into Access Database

Hi All!

Hope you all are well.

I am basically storing all my user input into a datatable, and when the user finishes, i want to send that datatable into an Access Database.

Is there a quick way of doing it instead of opening a connection, using the insert command (with parameters) on each row, and looping to the end.

Can i map my datatable columns to the database columns.

Cheers

I really believe though that looping through is the best way, its gives you allot more flexibility, plus you have the option to implement custom filters data check etc.

There's no magic. You need to create a Connection, create a DataAdapter, create its InsertCommand, call its Update method and pass the DataTable.

If you create a Data Source in your project then the TableAdapter will be generated that does the first three steps for you, so all you need to do is call Update and pass the DataTable.
