I am using TableAdapter to insert records in table within a loop.

foreach(....)
{
  ....
  ....
  teamsTableAdapter.Insert(_teamid, _teamname);
  ....
}

Where TeamID is the primary key in the table After first run of this loop, Insert throws Duplicate Primary Key found Exception. To handle this, i have done this

foreach(....)
{
  ....
  ....

  try
  {
     _teamsTableAdapter.Insert(_teamid, _teamname);
  }
  catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException e)
  {
     if (e.Number != 2627)
        MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
  }
  ....
  ....
}

But using try catch statement is costly, how to avoid this exception. I am working in VS2010 and INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE does not work.
