No row was deleted/updated, error with SQL Server in C# (Winforms)

Question

I have a table called Users with these columns

Username - Nvarchar(50).
Password - Nvarchar(50).

Now I have this data

UserName    Password
----------  ----------
adimin       123456
test         1234
abc           123 
abc           123

Now I'm trying to ( manually ) delete the abc users and I'm getting this error:

I can add more users and update them and delete them, but I can't do anything with the abc users.. Why does it happen?

Answer 1

You can delete the records with a delete statement rather than manually in the IDE:

delete from users
where username = 'abc'

Answer 2

Visual Studio is complaining because you didn't define a Primary Key . Add, for example, an identity column and it won't complain any more (since it'll know exactly which row to delete).

Ex.: ALTER TABLE users ADD id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY

Answer 3

If you want to delete all data in a table. you can use following SQL statement

DELETE FROM table_name

ex :- DELETE FROM tblReOrderLevel
