Hi All,

I have created a form for a user to create a booking of a meeting room, I need this form to do 3 things.

have print functionality

update the new booking to a dataset

view the current bookings screen

I seem to be struggling with the second task, when I try and save my new booking I get this error

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
  Message="Update unable to find TableMapping['mtrbookings'] or DataTable 'mtrbookings'."

Please see the code for my form.

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
    Dim conn As SqlConnection
    Dim Bookings As SqlDataAdapter
    Dim dsBookings As DataSet
    Dim cmdBuilder As SqlCommandBuilder = New SqlCommandBuilder(Bookings)

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Try
            conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=JOHN-ELLIS-PC;Initial Catalog=mtrbookings;Integrated Security=True")
            conn.Open()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("CONNECTION FAILED" & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Form2.Show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        dsBookings = New DataSet
        Bookings = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT BookingID,RoomID,UserID,BookDate,StartTime,EndTime,Reason FROM Bookings", conn)
        Bookings.Update(dsBookings, "mtrbookings")
    End Sub
End Class

My feeling is that I have not declaired any data sources, like a data grid view or the text boxes from which my information is typed by the user (text boxes).

Can anyone help.

Thanks very much

John

Sub Test()
conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=JOHN-ELLIS-PC;Initial Catalog=mtrbookings;Integrated Security=True")
dsBookings = New DataSet
Bookings = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT BookingID,RoomID,UserID,BookDate,StartTime,EndTime,Reason FROM Bookings", conn)
Dim cmdBuilder As SqlCommandBuilder = New SqlCommandBuilder(Bookings)


Bookings.Update(dsBookings, "mtrbookings")

Thanks for the reply on that adatapost. I re wrote and fixed the error, however now my database won't update.

Please see my code below

Imports System.Data.SqlClient  

Public Class Form1  
Dim conn As SqlConnection  
Dim Bookings As SqlDataAdapter  

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load      

Me.BookingsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MtrbookingsDataSet.Bookings)  

Try  

conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=JOHN-ELLIS-PC;Initial Catalog=mtrbookings;Integrated Security=True")  

conn.Open()  

Bookings = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT BookingID,RoomID,UserID,BookDate,StartTime,EndTime,Reason FROM Bookings", conn)  

TextBox1.Text = "" 
TextBox2.Text = "" 
TextBox3.Text = "" 
TextBox4.Text = "" 
TextBox5.Text = "" 
TextBox6.Text = "" 
TextBox7.Text = "" 

Catch ex As Exception  

MessageBox.Show("CONNECTION FAILED" & ex.Message)  

End Try  

End Sub  

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click  

Form2.Show()  

End Sub      

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click  

Me.BookingsTableAdapter.Update(Me.MtrbookingsDataSet.Bookings)  

End Sub  

End Class

I dont understand because I have put the update command in for the dataset.

Can anyone see what I have done wrong.

Thanks very much

John

I have just had a thought, is it because I am using the select command

Bookings = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT BookingID,RoomID,UserID,BookDate,StartTime,EndTime,Reason FROM Bookings", conn)

Should I be using INSERT INTO

Bookings = New SqlDataAdapter("INSERT INTO BookingID,RoomID,UserID,BookDate,StartTime,EndTime,Reason FROM Bookings", conn)

I will test this theory tonight.
