How to: Edit TableAdapter Queries

You edit TableAdapter queries with the TableAdapter Query Configuration Wizard in the Dataset Designer. You should modify a TableAdapter query when it no longer suits the needs of your application. (Alternatively, you can create additional queries on the TableAdapter. For more information on adding new queries, see How to: Create TableAdapter Queries.)

Note

If the TableAdapter Configuration Wizard opens instead of the TableAdapter Query Configuration Wizard, you might have selected the TableAdapter's main Fill query and not one of the TableAdapter's additional queries. For information on editing the TableAdapter's main Fill query, see How to: Edit TableAdapters.
