First read my Database Table Update in a DataGridView without Writing Code . After you read that I think you will understand better what can be done.

I suggest that you not use the other code. You do not need it; the code that gets generated when you do as described in my article will do everything that the other code does plus more. I suggest that you just create a new project as described in my article except using your table and then proceed from there. What is the select button supposed to do?

I don't know about the deployment issue. Create a new thread with a relevant subject and then someone else can help.

If the DataGridView is bound to the prodspec table then there should not be a problem updating the table so if there is a problem I don't know what that problem is. If the DataGridView is bound to the prodspec table then you can use the BindingSource.Filter Property of the DataGridView's BindingSource to filter the data shown in the DataGridView so that only the selected product is shown.

fine i ll make it clear for you there is a table prodspec not empdetail.... i have a combo box that list out all the prodcode and it is connected to the database. I use this combo box to generate a gridview So when i choose a prodcode I get a gridview of that particular prodcode with all the properties of the prodcode(just one row of data). This is done with a help of select statement and it works perfectly and then if the user modifies the properties or the row generated in the gridview and then on pressing the update button I want it to update but it ain't happenin.. I hope I am clear now Thank you

The original question in this thread says that you have a DataGridView for the EmpDetails table. I don't see any mention of any other data except for the EmpDetails table and I don't see any mention of what else is in the form. So what I am saying is that it is not clear what the data is that you need to show and update and how the form works. You say you have a ComboBox with prodcode but I don't know how it is related to the EmpDetails table. I think we need more information about the data and what you are using to view and update it.

this is my code try { string connStr = @Data Source=MPMSQLDEV;Initial Catalog=prodcn;Integrated Security=True; SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr); conn.Open(); SqlDataAdapter dAd = null; DataSet dSet = new DataSet(); string strSql = Select * FROM prodspec where prodcode=' + prodcode.Text + '; dAd = new SqlDataAdapter(strSql conn); dAd.Fill(dSet prodspec); prodspecDataGridView.DataSource = dSet.Tables[0]; prodspecDataGridView.DataSource = dSet.Tables[prodspec].DefaultView; prodspecDataGridView.Visible = true; button4.Visible = true; } catch (Exception ee) { MessageBox.Show(no entry); } } private void closegrid_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { prodspecDataGridView.Visible = false; button4.Visible = false; } private void modify_Click_1(object sender EventArgs e) { DataSet dSet = new DataSet(); SqlDataAdapter dAd = new SqlDataAdapter(); dAd.Update(dSet prodspec); dSet.Tables[prodspec].AcceptChanges(); // DataGridViewRow item = new DataGridViewRow(); // prodspecDataGridView.AllowUserToAddRows = true; //item.CreateCells(prodspecDataGridView); (I tried with these comment lines also but it is not working) My prob is with your method I am able to update the database but wen I chose a single prodcode from the combo box in the form the gridview populates with a single row of that of the prodcode. but when I try updating by either the save button in toolbar or the modify button that i have coded it does not updates the database and shows an exception in the latter case Update unable to find TableMapping['prodspec'] or DataTable 'prodspec'. plz help me on how to select a single row from a combo box in the form or from the datagridview so that i get the corresponding values of the product and I can update the gridview and the database... hope I am clear vry urgent Adi

DataGridView MessageBoxButtons.OK MessageBoxIcon.Information); } } } This is not my code but I just did exactly like this but on a extra note I have added a button which selects the value in the gridview…nw I want a button for just updating the gridview… wen I use this code the database remains unchanged(nothing happens)…. For the second button I have added the SQL dataadaptor and datatable publically hw t is in the prog but with a different object instance(name).. This code is workin if I create a dummy form with just one gridview and a button but not wen 2 buttons (one for select and 1 for update ).. is there any other way to do this..
