You are trying to insert a record that has the same primary key as another record. How is your table defined?

If you are updating an existing row in the dataTable, you MUST put a comparison, this is a WHERE clause in the sql query.
And you cannot update ID, which is a uniqe key. The Id you have to use to compare which row you have to update.
How you will get this Id its up to you, but you should have got it, before when you did a select query (and remember it some how).
The query should look like this:

da.UpdateCommand = new SqlCommand("Update Lib_book_details set book_name=@book_name,book_author_name=@book_author_name where book_category_id=@book_category_id [B]WHERE book_tag_id=@book_tag_id[/B]", cs);
