Data Adapter Configuration Error Dialog Box
Displays one or more errors that occurred while Visual Studio was attempting to create an instance of a data adapter and set its properties. The dialog box is displayed when you are using Visual Studio data-design tools, and Visual Studio cannot infer sufficient information to finish creating the adapter.
Note
In the previous version of Visual Studio, data adapters were used for communicating between an application and a database. While data adapters are still a main component of .NET Framework Data Providers (ADO.NET), TableAdapters are designer-generated components that simplify the process of manipulating data between your application and a database. For more information on working with TableAdapters, see TableAdapter Overview.
For example, if you drag a view from Server Explorer to a form or component but there is no reference in the view to a primary key column, Visual Studio cannot create the appropriate CommandText property for the adapter's UpdateCommand object.
If you see this dialog box, the process of creating or configuring the data adapter has been halted. You must cancel the operation, fix the error, and try again. Alternatively, you can proceed with a partially configured data adapter and complete the configuration later.
- Cancel or Cancel All
