Adding data from a DataTable to a SQL database

Question

After doing some research I found the code below.. I would like to know what I am doing wrong as the code is failing at the line marked with the three stars. I want to copy all the data to a table called api_ReportData on the SQL server.

When trying this, I get the following error: Cannot find destination table.

This is my code:

DataTable api_ReportData = CreateDataTable();

string sqlConnectionString =
    "Server = 10.72.8.196; Database = datastaoge; User Id = sa; Password = Passw0rd";

// Copy the DataTable to SQL Server
using (SqlConnection dbConnection = new SqlConnection(sqlConnectionString))
{
    dbConnection.Open();

    using (SqlBulkCopy s = new SqlBulkCopy(dbConnection))
    {
        *** s.DestinationTableName = Aapi_ReportData.TableName;

        foreach (var column in Adapi_ReportData.Columns)
            s.ColumnMappings.Add(column.ToString(), column.ToString());

        s.WriteToServer(api_ReportData);
    }
} 

Answer 1

The meaning of your error is :

The destination table with name return by Aapi_ReportData.TableName does not exist in your destination database.

if your source and destination table has same schema you do not need to use s.ColumnMappings.Add
