ADO.NET in a Nutshell

Name

MissingPrimaryKeyException

Synopsis

This exception is thrown when you attempt to invoke the DataRowCollection.Contains( ) or DataRowCollection.Find( ) method on a DataTable that has no primary key. To retrieve primary key information, you can use the IDataAdapter.FillSchema( ) method when accessing a data source. To programmatically set a primary key, you must add a UniqueConstraint (typically by setting the DataColumn.Unique property of the primary key field to true) and then set the UniqueConstraint.IsPrimaryKey property to true.
