I am writing a code in C# to read, add, delete and update a sql database row by row. Whenever I try to delete an entry, i get a "concurrency violation error: the DeleteCommand affected 0 of the expected 1 records.". Please help me to solve that error and also add code lines I can use to view the whole database like it is in Sql or Access.

the problem is this, ADO.NET is able to work in disconnected manner, the records from database are stored in RAM then you make the changes, but not only you and also other people modify those records in their RAM. let say i deleted the row in my RAM, and you updated the record in your RAM. How the server is going to handle if we both submit our changes to server. That is when concurrency conflict occurs. there are patterns to handle it you can search google or probably if you are lucky enough sknake will see your thread and post some loooong code samples :D

No -- no long code samples for this. I hate the .NET datasets for the most parts. How they handle nulls (and concurrency) really irks me.

When you configure your table adapter one of the options under the "Advanced" button is "Use Optimistic Concurrency" you can turn that off to stop this from happening. I have attached a screenshot instead of code. <3 serkan

SAINTJAB, you must feel special. this is the first time Scott didnt bother to write long code :D
