I use C# WPF, I am programming an accounting program with a SQL Server database, in this accounting program, data is inserted, updated, and deleted by the user directly in a data grid, which contains a textbox and Combobox elements.

In an issue that I was very confused about, which method of connecting to the database and storing data through the data grid is better?

What I have tried:

ADO.NET with DataSet and TableAdapter like this :

C#
private void LoadData()
   {
       nOTELBOOKDBDataSet = ((SIMPLE_MVVM.NOTELBOOKDBDataSet)(this.FindResource("nOTELBOOKDBDataSet")));
       // Load data into the table PERSONEL. You can modify this code as needed.
       nOTELBOOKDBDataSetPERSONELTableAdapter = new SIMPLE_MVVM.NOTELBOOKDBDataSetTableAdapters.PERSONELTableAdapter();
       nOTELBOOKDBDataSetPERSONELTableAdapter.Fill(nOTELBOOKDBDataSet.PERSONEL);
       System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource pERSONELViewSource = ((System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource)(this.FindResource("pERSONELViewSource")));
       pERSONELViewSource.View.MoveCurrentToFirst();
   }
   void SaveData()
   {
       NOTELBOOKDBDataSet changes = (NOTELBOOKDBDataSet)nOTELBOOKDBDataSet.GetChanges();
       if (changes != null)
       {
           //Data has changes.
           //use update method in the adapter. it should update your datasource
           int updatedRows = nOTELBOOKDBDataSetPERSONELTableAdapter.Update(changes);
           nOTELBOOKDBDataSet.AcceptChanges();
       }
   }


The second case:

C#
public void LoadData()
   {
       using (DataModeling.Entities dbms = new DataModeling.Entities())
       {
           var RES = dbms.Database.SqlQuery<HUMANS_TBMODEL>("SELECT ID,NAME,TEL,REMARKS FROM PERSONEL").ToList();
           foreach (var item in RES)
           {
               MY_ALL_HUMANS.Add(item);
           }
       }
   }


Please guide me which is the best and easiest way?

Databinding with data models bound to the DataGrid. EntityFramework or Dapr is a cleaner and simpler database framework. There are plenty of Google searchable tutorials explaining how to do both.
