editing database (mysql) table with datagridview

[kristian]

Hi all

I have a simple form with not much more than a datagridview control,
and want to show and edit the contents of a table in my mysql table.

So far I have managed to set the db table as a datasource for the
datagridview, and display the contents.
Code bit:

public partial class FormEditDbTable : Form
{
OdbcDataAdapter da;
OdbcConnection odbcCon;
DataSet ds;
string table;

public FormEditDbTable(OdbcConnection inputOdbcCon, string
inputTable)
{
odbcCon = inputOdbcCon;
table = inputTable;

InitializeComponent();

if (odbcCon.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
odbcCon.Open();

string sqlString = "SELECT * FROM " + table;

OdbcCommand cm = new OdbcCommand(sqlString, odbcCon);
da = new OdbcDataAdapter(cm);


da.TableMappings.Add("Table", table);

ds = new DataSet(table);
da.Fill(ds);
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds;
dataGridView1.DataMember = table;

odbcCon.Close();


}


}
}

This shows the datagridview with the variable number of columns in the
table given. I can of course then edit the cells in the datagridview,
but I have not been able to push the edited info back to the mysql
db.

Anyone have a hint for me?

PS: Would it be possible to give this form an SQL-statement instead of
a table, and would one be able to edit and save back to the DB then?

In addition to the Select command which you have defined, you also
need to define an Update command for the DataAdapter object.
