Re: Strongly typed DataSets: Relation between DataTable and TableAdapter

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Sorry, this must have been a typical beginner's way to pose a question ;-)

Assuming I create a generic base base class like

' TDataRow refers to a DataRow in a strongly typed DataTable
Public MustInherit Class MyBusinessObjectBaseClass(Of TDataRow As DataRow)
Protected _databaseRecord As TDataRow
....
End Class

The objects derived from MyBusinessObjectBaseClass relate to a record in a
given database table and I'd like to put the logic to select, insert or
update the database records in the base class. Since the base class 'knows'
of what type my _databaseRecord is, isn't there a way to derive the
appropriate TableAdapter (and eventually the DataTable)?

If implemented in the derived object I would do someting like:

Dim ta As New MyDataSetTableAdapters.MyDataTableTableAdapter
ta.Update(_databaseRecord)

How, if possible, would I have to implement such methods in the base class?

Many thanks,
Etienne

In general, unless you have change the default query, you use

MyDataTable = MyTableAdapter.GetData();

This produces an "every row in the table" DataSet. You can create a Get
method every time you create a new query. There is also a fill method, but
it works like this:

MyDataTable table = new MyDataTable():
MyTableAdapter.Fill(table);

When creating a strongly typed DataSet using the "Add New DataSource..."
configuration wizzard a data table as well as a table adapter is created
for each database table.

Is there a way to get the DataTable a TableAdapter 'belongs' to by code?
Something like 'MyDataTable = MyTableAdapter.GetTable()' or so...? In
case would there be the opposite way, means getting the appropriate
TableAdapter from a given DataTable?

Many thanks for your help,
Etienne
