This is my first post so forgive me if I goof! I am trying to update myself from VBA to VB.Net. Using loads of help from Google etc I am doing Ok except when I try to update my table from a DataGridView. It just does not update. What I would like is that a cell is update on change. My code so far is shown (I have tried all sorts of builder, tables etc so my code may have a smattering of these that are redundant):
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer
Public Class FrmData
Private dsS As DataSet = New DataSet
Private adpS As SqlDataAdapter
Private builder As SqlCommandBuilder
Private bsource = New BindingSource
Private Sub FrmData_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles
MyBase.Load
Dim sqlS = "SELECT [Data].[Date] AS [Date] ,
[Data].[PaidBy] AS [Paid By] ,
[Data].[PaidAmount] AS [Paid Amount (£)],
[Data].[AmountLeft] AS [Amount Left (£)]
FROM [Data] WHERE [Data].[Name]= '" & strName & "'
ORDER BY [Data].[Date] DESC"
Dim adpS As SqlDataAdapter
adpS = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlS, connection)
builder = New SqlCommandBuilder(adpS)
Dim dTable As New DataTable
bsource.DataSource = dTable
bsource.EndEdit()
adpS.Fill(dTable)
connection.Close()
DataGridView1.DataSource = dTable
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellEndEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellEndEdit
DataGridView1.EndEdit()
Dim dt As DataTable
dt = TryCast(DataGridView1.DataSource, DataTable)
Dim x As Integer = 0
If dt.GetChanges() Is Nothing Then
MessageBox.Show("The table contains no changes to save.")
Else
Dim builder = New SqlCommandBuilder(adpS)
Dim rowsAffected As Integer = adpS.Update(dt)
If rowsAffected = 0 Then
MessageBox.Show("No rows were affected by the save operation.")
Else
MessageBox.Show(rowsAffected & " rows were affected by the save operation.")
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class
Any help would be appreciated.

After two days working on this, I finally got it right for myself! Also, I had an eye on @ryguy72 codes as well. these are the steps you can take to get there:
Step 1: Drag and drop DataGridView into your form
Step 2: In the App.config add this between configuration:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ehsanConnection" connectionString="Data Source=XXX
; User= XX; Password= XXX" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
Step 3: The code below shows how you can get the DataGridView programmatically right, it worked perfectly fine for me.
Dim sCommand As SqlCommand
Dim sAdapter As SqlDataAdapter
Dim sBuilder As SqlCommandBuilder
Dim sDs As DataSet
Dim sTable As DataTable
Dim connStr As String =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ehsanConnection").ToString
Dim connStri = New SqlConnection(connStr)
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM [Ehsan].[dbo].[Data]"
sCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, connStri)
sAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sCommand)
sBuilder = New SqlCommandBuilder(sAdapter)
sDs = New DataSet()
sAdapter.Fill(sDs, "Data")
sTable = sDs.Tables("Data")
connStri.Close()
DataGridView1.DataSource = sDs.Tables("Data")
The main point here was that I had to use [Ehsan].[dbo].[Data] not only the name of the table, "Data". Actually, it didn't work for me that way and it kept complaining!
Step 4: If you want to update your database after you changed some of the records in datagridview, use this code :
sAdapter.Update(sDs.Tables(0))
Main important point is that: "you have to set a primary key in your table first otherwise it won't work!"

This is for SQL Server, right. Try it like this.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Dim sCommand As SqlCommand
Dim sAdapter As SqlDataAdapter
Dim sBuilder As SqlCommandBuilder
Dim sDs As DataSet
Dim sTable As DataTable
Private Sub load_btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles load_btn.Click
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=True"
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM Stores"
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
connection.Open()
sCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, connection)
sAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sCommand)
sBuilder = New SqlCommandBuilder(sAdapter)
sDs = New DataSet()
sAdapter.Fill(sDs, "Stores")
sTable = sDs.Tables("Stores")
connection.Close()
DataGridView1.DataSource = sDs.Tables("Stores")
DataGridView1.ReadOnly = True
save_btn.Enabled = False
DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect
End Sub
Private Sub new_btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles new_btn.Click
DataGridView1.[ReadOnly] = False
save_btn.Enabled = True
new_btn.Enabled = False
delete_btn.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub delete_btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles delete_btn.Click
If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to delete this row ?", "Delete", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
DataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(DataGridView1.SelectedRows(0).Index)
sAdapter.Update(sTable)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub save_btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles save_btn.Click
sAdapter.Update(sTable)
DataGridView1.[ReadOnly] = True
save_btn.Enabled = False
new_btn.Enabled = True
delete_btn.Enabled = True
End Sub
End Class
