To modify existing records, use UPDATE statements.

Update Syntax

The UPDATE statement takes as input a comma-separated list of columns and new column values as name-value pairs in the SET clause, as shown in the following example:

UPDATE <table_name> SET { <column_reference> = <expression> } [ , ... ] WHERE { Id = <expression>  } [ { AND | OR } ... ] 

<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter> 
  | ?
  | <literal>

You can use the ExecuteNonQuery method to execute data manipulation commands and retrieve the rows affected, as shown in the following example:

C#

String connectionString = "DataModel=Relational;URI=C:\people.xml";
using (XMLConnection connection = new XMLConnection(connectionString)) {
  int rowsAffected;
  XMLCommand cmd = new XMLCommand("UPDATE NorthwindOData SET Username='Ana Trujilo' WHERE Id = @myId", connection);
  cmd.Parameters.Add(new XMLParameter("myId","1"));
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "DataModel=Relational;URI=C:\people.xml"
Using connection As New XMLConnection(connectionString)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer
  Dim cmd As New XMLCommand("UPDATE NorthwindOData SET Username='Ana Trujilo' WHERE Id = @myId", connection)
  cmd.Parameters.Add(New XMLParameter("myId", "1"))
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
