SqlCommandBuilder is used to generate sql statements in order to update a dataset with more efficiently.
We have just to specify the table when you use the Fill method

Example :
       
Dim builder As SqlCommandBuilder = New SqlCommandBuilder(adapter)

adapter.Fill(dataSet, tableName)


//doesn't work if you don't specify previously  the SQLCommandBuilder
adapter.Update(dataSet, tableName)

SqlCommand:

SqlCommand is used to execute Query involving Select, Update, Delete operation and to Execute SQL Stored procedures

SqlCommandBuilder:

SqlCommandBuilder provides the feature of reflecting the changes made to a DataSet or an instance of the SQL server data. When an instance of the SqlCommandBuilder class is created, it automatically generates Transact-SQL statements for the single table updates that occur. The object of the SqlCommandBuilder acts as a listener for RowUpdating events, whenever the DataAdapter property is set.

Code
  1. DataSet ds = new DataSet();

  2. SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("strSomeConnectionString");

  3. //Autogenerate Insert, Update & Delete commands

  4. SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select from t_Something", cn);

  5. SqlCommandBuilder scb = new SqlCommand(da);
