You need an InsertCommand in your SqlDataAdapter.

EDIT:

Here's a quick example I whipped up. There are many others out there, but this should get you going. It assumes that you have a table (dbo.Foos) with two columns (Foo int, Bar nvarchar(50)).

namespace DataAdapterSample
{
    using System;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=[your server];Initial Catalog=[your database];Integrated Security=true;"))
            {
                using (SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter())
                {
                    dataAdapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand("select Foo, Bar from dbo.Foos", connection);
                    dataAdapter.InsertCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into dbo.Foos (Foo, Bar) values (@Foo, @Bar)", connection);
                    dataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("Foo", SqlDbType.Int, 4, "Foo"));
                    dataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("Bar", SqlDbType.NText, 50, "Bar"));

                    using (DataSet dataSet = new DataSet())
                    {
                        dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);

                        Console.WriteLine("There are {0} rows in the table", dataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count);

                        DataRow newRow = dataSet.Tables[0].NewRow();
                        newRow["Foo"] = 5;
                        newRow["Bar"] = "Hello World!";
                        dataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Add(newRow);

                        dataAdapter.Update(dataSet);
                    }                

                    //Just to prove we inserted
                    using (DataSet newDataSet = new DataSet())
                    {
                        dataAdapter.Fill(newDataSet);
                        Console.WriteLine("There are {0} rows in the table", newDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count);                
                    }                
                }
            }
            Console.ReadLine();        
        }
    }
}
