this is my sample code..you can base yours in that code

i need to update the database using just the datagridview,,no textboxes involved....whatever i input in the datagridview at runtime should be reflected back to database..

You know, you are welcome to contribute to your own program. pixma showed you the way. Try adapting your code, using the example pixma provided and let us know if you are having problems (with your code and the point that you are having difficulties)
