SqlDataAdapter.Update doesn't delete, will however insert and update, what gives?

[Andy Baldwin]

Even though the Update, Insert and Select portions of my DataAdapter
function fine using Adapter.Update, the delete functionality never
works. I have tried multiple things and frankly I am lost at this
point. It will be a pretty handy dandy class when I am done, but I
need help to figure out this last problem.

I have a database class (a c# component class so that I could use the
designer for the datasets and adapters etc...). I am using MSDE (MS
Database Engine) on a win2k box. I can connect to it via access and
VS.Net fine, as well as through my code in the way that I can insert,
select and edit existing records through my dataset. In my following
code, you will see that there are three methods, all three of which
work with a minor exception. Both getDataGridData and addRecord work
consistantly, add record uses the Adapter.Update method successfully
(the select doesn't need to update anything). The last method,
updateDataset, works when I pass in a dataset that has records marked
with a rowstate of changed, but not delete (or remove). I must be
missing something silly here any help will be greatly appreciated, and
I apologize for my short naming conventions and long nested
statements!

Oops, sorry guys, needed to do a "dr.Delete()" instead of removing it
from the table object...

Thanks anyways!!
