DataAdapter Class
Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)
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.
