The CommandBuilder class is a part of the .NET Framework. Its purpose is to automatically build SQL INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements for a DataTable based on a SQL SELECT statement.

When creating a CommandBuilder a DataAdapter is passed as a parameter to the constructor. This links the CommandBuilder to a DataAdapter allowing it to read the SELECT command that has been associated with the DataAdapter. It will use the SELECT command to extract the schema information from the Table in the Database. Using this schema information it can automatically build INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE Command objects and the required SQL statements.

The CommandBuilder is useful when the immediate updation are not required in DB, because CommandBuilder is Disconnected Object

When we use UPDATE Method of corresponding DataAdapter then only updation are reflected in DB
