Copy a DataRow to another table (vb.net / mysql) - mysql

Question

I have a Two identical data tables in my project, One is Purchase Orders and the other is a template datatable. (IE: the user can select a template when creating a new row in the original table.)
A Save Template button runs:
Public Shared Sub AddPO_as_Template(Name As String, DR As DataRow)
Dim ds As New SomeDataSet
Dim ta As New SomeDataSetDataSetTableAdapters.PurchaseOrderTemplatesTableAdapter
Try
DR("Name") = Name
ds.PurchaseOrderTemplates.ImportRow(DR)
ta.Update(ds)
Catch ex As Exception
CommonRoutines.ShowExceptionDialog("Could not add the Template, an error occured.", ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
This particular code throws a concurrency violation. I assume this is happening because the ID column is auto increment and I as using the origional row's ID.
Now; the ID in the second table (PurchaseOrderTemplates) is not important at all, so it can be anything. I have tried setting -1, dbnull, "", etc.... the DB keeps trowing exceptions on the update command.
How can I reset the ID column so it just adds as normal? (I know i could create a newrow and move all the columns accross, but this seems the long way.)
Thanks
EDIT: Copying the rows (via .itemarray) works fine, but i need to get the auto increment value from the table somehow to avoid concurrency violations.
Edit2: So i got it working as per the answer below, but I'd still love to know how to get import row working like this.

Adding the Row as follows works.
Public Shared Sub AddPO_as_Template(Name As String, DR As DataRow)
Dim ds As New SomeDataSet
Dim ta As New SomeDataSetTableAdapters.PurchaseOrderTemplatesTableAdapter
Dim NewRow As DataRow
NewRow = ds.PurchaseOrderTemplates.NewRow
NewRow.ItemArray = DR.ItemArray
NewRow("Name") = Name
NewRow("ID") = 1
ds.PurchaseOrderTemplates.Rows.Add(NewRow)
ta.Update(ds)
End Sub
The MySQL database ignores the value in the ID column, and just sets its own auto increment value.
