The DataAdapter type exposes the following members.

  Name Description

Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework DataAdapter(DataAdapter) Initializes a new instance of a DataAdapter class from an existing object of the same type.

Public property Supported by the XNA Framework AcceptChangesDuringUpdate Gets or sets whether AcceptChanges is called during a Update.
Protected property CanRaiseEvents Gets a value indicating whether the component can raise an event. (Inherited from Component.)

Public property Supported by the XNA Framework ContinueUpdateOnError Gets or sets a value that specifies whether to generate an exception when an error is encountered during a row update.
Protected property DesignMode Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode. (Inherited from Component.)

Public property Supported by the XNA Framework FillLoadOption Gets or sets the LoadOption that determines how the adapter fills the DataTable from the DbDataReader.
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework MissingMappingAction Determines the action to take when incoming data does not have a matching table or column.
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework MissingSchemaAction Determines the action to take when existing DataSet schema does not match incoming data.
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework ReturnProviderSpecificTypes Gets or sets whether the Fill method should return provider-specific values or common CLS-compliant values.
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework Site Gets or sets the ISite of the Component. (Inherited from Component.)
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework TableMappings Gets a collection that provides the master mapping between a source table and a DataTable.

  Name Description
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework CloneInternals Obsolete. Creates a copy of this instance of DataAdapter.
Public method CreateObjRef Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework CreateTableMappings Creates a new DataTableMappingCollection.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Dispose() Releases all resources used by the Component. (Inherited from Component.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Dispose(Boolean) Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DataAdapter and optionally releases the managed resources. (Overrides Component.Dispose(Boolean).)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Fill(DataSet) Adds or refreshes rows in the DataSet to match those in the data source.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Fill(DataTable, IDataReader) Adds or refreshes rows in the DataTable to match those in the data source using the DataTable name and the specified IDataReader.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Fill(DataTable[], IDataReader, Int32, Int32) Adds or refreshes rows in a specified range in the collection of DataTable objects to match those in the data source.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Fill(DataSet, String, IDataReader, Int32, Int32) Adds or refreshes rows in a specified range in the DataSet to match those in the data source using the DataSet and DataTable names.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework FillSchema(DataSet, SchemaType) Adds a DataTable to the specified DataSet and configures the schema to match that in the data source based on the specified SchemaType.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework FillSchema(DataTable, SchemaType, IDataReader) Adds a DataTable to the specified DataSet.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework FillSchema(DataSet, SchemaType, String, IDataReader) Adds a DataTable to the specified DataSet.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Finalize Releases unmanaged resources and performs other cleanup operations before the Component is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Component.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetFillParameters Gets the parameters set by the user when executing an SQL SELECT statement.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)

Public method InitializeLifetimeService Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework MemberwiseClone() Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone(Boolean) Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework OnFillError Invoked when an error occurs during a Fill.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ResetFillLoadOption Resets FillLoadOption to its default state and causes DataAdapter.Fill to honor AcceptChangesDuringFill.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ShouldSerializeAcceptChangesDuringFill Determines whether the AcceptChangesDuringFill property should be persisted.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ShouldSerializeFillLoadOption Determines whether the FillLoadOption property should be persisted.

The DataAdapter serves as a bridge between a DataSet and a data source for retrieving and saving data. The DataAdapter provides this bridge by mapping Fill, which changes the data in the DataSet to match the data in the data source, and Update, which changes the data in the data source to match the data in the DataSet.

If you are connecting to a SQL Server database, you can increase overall performance by using the SqlDataAdapter along with its associated SqlCommand and SqlConnection objects. For OLE DB-supported data sources, use the DataAdapter with its associated OleDbCommand and OleDbConnection objects. For ODBC-supported data sources, use the DataAdapter with its associated OdbcCommand and OdbcConnection objects. For Oracle databases, use the DataAdapter with its associated OracleCommand and OracleConnection objects.

When an instance of DataAdapter is created, the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the DataAdapter constructor.
