I think you should follow this tutorial

if you already have data in your DataTable it just takes
4 steps to update into database

1)create a connection to database:

con = new SqlConnection(c onString);
// for conString see

http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorials/AdoDotNet/Lesson02.aspx

2)Open connection :

con.Open();


3)Enter into DataBase with a loop like :

for(int i=0;i<dt.Rows.C ount;i++)
{
command = new SqlCommand("INS ERT INTO tables (value,val) VALUES('"+dt.Ro ws[i][0].ToString()+"', '"+dt.Rows[i][1].ToString()+"') ",con);
command.Execute NonQuery();
}

here i assume two columns so

dt.Rows[i][0].ToString() is the string from row i and column 0
dt.Rows[i][1].ToString() is the string from row i and column 1

u have to pass values to your own need

4)Close Connection :
con.Close();

Try this:

private void BulkUpload(DataTable dt)
{
    dt.TableName="YourDataTable";
    string constr="your connection string";
    using(SqlConnection connection=new SqlConnection(constr))
    {
      connection.Open();
      //CreatingTranscationsothatitcanrollbackifgotanyerrorwhileuploading
      SqlTransaction trans=connection.BeginTransaction();
     //Start bulkCopy
     using(SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy=new SqlBulkCopy(connection,
     SqlBulkCopyOptions.TableLock|
     SqlBulkCopyOptions.FireTriggers,
     trans))
     {
       //Setting timeout to 0 means no time out for this command will not timeout until upload complete.
     //Change as per you
     bulkCopy.BulkCopyTimeout=0;
     bulkCopy.DestinationTableName=dt.TableName;
     //write the data in the "dataTable"
     bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dt);
    }
   }
}
