This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
DataTable..::.AcceptChanges Method

Commits all the changes made to this table since the last time AcceptChanges was called.

Namespace:  System.Data
Assembly:  System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub AcceptChanges
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As DataTable

instance.AcceptChanges()
C#
public void AcceptChanges()
Visual C++
public:
void AcceptChanges()
JScript
public function AcceptChanges()

When AcceptChanges is called, any DataRow object still in edit mode successfully ends its edits. The DataRowState also changes: all Added and Modified rows become Unchanged, and Deleted rows are removed.

The AcceptChanges method is generally called on a DataTable after you attempt to update the DataSet using the DbDataAdapter..::.Update method.

The following example tests each table for errors. If the table's errors can be reconciled (by passing it to an undefined function), AcceptChanges is called; otherwise, RejectChanges is called.

Visual Basic
Private Sub AcceptOrReject(table As DataTable)
    ' If there are errors, try to reconcile.
        If (table.HasErrors) Then
            If (Reconcile(table)) Then
                ' Fixed all errors.
                table.AcceptChanges()
            Else
                ' Couldn'table fix all errors.
                table.RejectChanges()
            End If
        Else
            ' If no errors, AcceptChanges.
            table.AcceptChanges()
        End If
 End Sub

Private Function Reconcile(thisTable As DataTable) As Boolean
    Dim row As DataRow
    For Each row in thisTable.Rows
       'Insert code to try to reconcile error.

       ' If there are still errors return immediately
       ' since the caller rejects all changes upon error.
       If row.HasErrors Then
           Reconcile = False
           Exit Function
       End If
    Next row
    Reconcile = True
 End Function
C#
private void AcceptOrReject(DataTable table)
{
    // If there are errors, try to reconcile.
    if(table.HasErrors)
    { 
        if(Reconcile(table))
        {
            // Fixed all errors.
            table.AcceptChanges();
        }
        else
        {
            // Couldn'table fix all errors.
            table.RejectChanges();
        }
    }
    else
        // If no errors, AcceptChanges.
        table.AcceptChanges();
}

private bool Reconcile(DataTable thisTable)
{
    foreach(DataRow row in thisTable.Rows)
    {
        //Insert code to try to reconcile error.

        // If there are still errors return immediately
        // since the caller rejects all changes upon error.
        if(row.HasErrors)
            return false;
    }
    return true;
