In This Topic
    DeleteCommand Property (SqlDataAdapter)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets a SQL Server statement to delete records from the data set.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Shadows Property DeleteCommand As SqlCommand
    public new SqlCommand DeleteCommand {get; set;}

    Property Value

    A SqlCommand used during an update operation to delete records in SQL Server that correspond to deleted rows in the System.Data.DataSet.
    Remarks
    During an update operation, if DeleteCommand is not set and primary key information is present in the System.Data.DataSet, you can use the SqlCommandBuilder class to automatically generate the DeleteCommand, and additional commands needed to reconcile the System.Data.DataSet to the data source. To do this, set the SelectCommand property of the SqlDataAdapter. For more information see "Automatically Generated Commands" in the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation.
    Example
    The following example demonstrates how to retrieve and manipulate data using SqlDataAdapter.
    public void UseDataAdapter(SqlConnection myConnection)
    {
      SqlDataAdapter myAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept", myConnection);
      myAdapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey;
      DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
      myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet,"Departments");
      myDataSet.Tables["Departments"].Rows[3].Delete();
      myAdapter.DeleteCommand = new SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Test.Dept WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo", myConnection);
      myAdapter.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("DeptNo", SqlType.Int, 0, "DeptNo").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;
      myAdapter.Update(myDataSet,"Departments"); 
      
      //Get all data from all tables within the dataset
      foreach(DataTable myTable in myDataSet.Tables)
      {
        foreach(DataRow myRow in myTable.Rows)
        {
          foreach (DataColumn myColumn in myTable.Columns)
          {
            Console.Write(myRow[myColumn]+"\t");
          }
          Console.WriteLine();
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
      }
    }
    Public Sub UseDataAdapter(ByVal myConnection As SqlConnection)
      Dim myAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept", myConnection)
      myAdapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey
      Dim myDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
      myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Departments")
      myDataSet.Tables("Departments").Rows(3).Delete()
      myAdapter.DeleteCommand = New SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Test.Dept WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo", myConnection)
      myAdapter.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("DeptNo", SqlType.Int, 0, "DeptNo").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original
      myAdapter.Update(myDataSet, "Departments")
      Dim myTable As DataTable
      Dim myRow As DataRow
      Dim myColumn As DataColumn
      ' Get all data from all tables within the dataset
      For Each myTable In myDataSet.Tables
        For Each myRow In myTable.Rows
          For Each myColumn In myTable.Columns
            Console.Write(myRow(myColumn) & Chr(9))
          Next myColumn
          Console.WriteLine()
        Next myRow
        Console.WriteLine()
      Next myTable
    End Sub
