The most common mistake (especially when using express) to the "my insert didn't happen" is : looking in the wrong file.
If you are using file-based express (rather than strongly attached), then the file in your project folder (say, c:\dev\myproject\mydb.mbd
) is not the file that is used in your program. When you build, that file is copied - for example to c:\dev\myproject\bin\debug\mydb.mbd
; your program executes in the context of c:\dev\myproject\bin\debug\
, and so it is here that you need to look to see if the edit actually happened. To check for sure: query for the data inside the application (after inserting it).
