C# Visual Studio 2012 Dataset TableAdapter - SQL View - Update/Save
Hi Experts,
First of all I have to say that my skill level in C# is rather basic so please bear with me. I will use AdventureWorks2012 as the example here. I create a SQL view using the statement (Select e.BusinessEntityID, p.Firstname, p.Lastname FROM HumanResources.employee e JOIN person.person p). Now I create a tableadapter in my C# project and use SQL statement to call the view, put it on a gridView and have the user edit say the firstname field. How do I save it back to the sql view? The updateCommand does not generate.

The UpdateCommand will only be generated when a primary key can be determined.

We can't create a primary key on a SQL view though. Perhaps I shouldn't use a view to expose the data to my C# program? What would be the conventional way of achieving something like this?
