Please I am new to the ADO.NET connected layer. But I have been able to learn how to communicate with my db effectively on the connected layer. But I notice that wen I execute an insert, update or a delete sql. I dont see the changes in the database. I but I am sure that the changes are effected cause if i run a select statement i usually see a difference in the data retrieved. but I confuse on the reason y i dont see the new data inserted when i check the db rows from visual studio. I am using ms sql db or ms sql db compact version. i use either. bt same result on both.

Please is there something that I am suppose to do to my database. Cause the code compiles and execute without displaying errors.
I only know values are inserted into my table when I run a select statement on that table. But opening the table on my visual studio IDE i dont see the new records there.

Maybe we can help if you put your code and also the db structure. Otherwise ...Is difficult to imagine what is going wrong, if any thing is wrong.

class Logic
    {
        SqlCeConnection con = null;

        //code the constructor of the class
        public Logic() { 
            //now we are going to collect the database configuration string
            string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectedCrud.Properties.Settings.DatabaseConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

            con = new SqlCeConnection(connectionString);

            Console.WriteLine(con.Database);
        }

        //This method is going to delete from the database
        public void deleteValue(int r){
            int k = 0;
            string sql = string.Format("delete from Details where id = {0}",r);
            using (SqlCeCommand command = new SqlCeCommand(sql, this.con)){
                try
                {
                    //open the connection 
                    this.con.Open();
                    k = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                }
                finally{
                    this.con.Close();
                }
            }

            if (k > 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("The rows as been deleted");
            }
            else
                Console.WriteLine("The row was not deleted");

        }
}

id int auto_increment primary key not null,
