SQL bulk updates not working

Question

This is my first attempt at using a SqlAdapter to perform a batch update to a SQL. I'm trying to follow the demo on this page however the line adapter.Fill(ds, "ZipCodeTerritory"); keeps giving me the error

Must declare the scalar variable \\"@ChannelCode\\"

I'm trying to load the contents of a List into a DataSet object and then use the .Update() method on the SqlAdapter to perform a batch update (around 14k records).

    private static string updateCommand = "UPDATE ZipCodeTerritory SET ChannelCode = @ChannelCode, DrmTerrDesc = @DrmTerrDesc, IndDistrnId = @IndDistrnId," +
                                                "StateCode = @StateCode, ZipCode = @ZipCode, EndDate = @EndDate, EffectiveDate = @EffectiveDate," +
                                                "LastUpdateId = @LastUpdateId, LastUpdateDate = @LastUpdateDate, ErrorCodes = @ErrorCodes," + 
                                                "Status = @Status " +
                                          "WHERE Id = @Id";

    public static void Update(List<ZipCodeTerritory> updates, Dictionary<ZipCodeTerritory, string> errorList)
    {
        using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connString))
        {
            using (SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(updateCommand, connection))
            {
                try
                {
                    DataTable dataTable = LoadData(updates);

                    SqlCommand updateCmd = connection.CreateCommand();
                    updateCmd.CommandText = updateCommand;
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ChannelCode", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "ChannelCode"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@DrmTerrDesc", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "DrmTerrDesc"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@IndDistrnId", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "IndistrnId"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@StateCode", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "StateCode"));

                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@EffectiveDate", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "EffectiveDate"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@LastUpdateId", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "LastUpdateId"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@LastUpdateDate", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "LastUpdateDate"));
                    updateCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Id", SqlDbType.Char, 1, "Id"));

The problem is this line here:

        using (SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(updateCommand, connection))

The SqlDataAdapter constructor needs a Select command, an Update command will not work. When you try to execute the Fill method it fails because it has no .SelectCommand parameters to apply.
