I think the best way is by using TableAdapters rather than using Commands objects, its Update method sends all changes mades (Updates,Inserts and Deletes) inside a Dataset or DataTable straight TO the database. Usually when using a DataGridView you bind to a BindingSource which lets you interact with a DataSource such as Datatables or Datasets.

If you work like this, then on your bounded DataGridView you can just do:

this.customersBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.myTableAdapter.Update(this.myDataSet.Customers);

The 'customersBindingSource' is the DataSource of the DataGridView.

The adapter's Update method will update a single data table and execute the correct command (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE) based on the RowState of each data row in the table.

So any changes made inside the DatagridView will be reflected on the Database when using the Update method.
