I have problem with receiving EmployeeID. I have stored procedure which returns on one textbox name + surname + docNo like 'Richarson Michael 674UK'. Stroed procedure below:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchEmployee]
	@employeeSurname varchar(80)

AS
	SELECT (surname+ ' ' + name+ ' ' + DocNo) as surname, EmployeeId
	FROM Employee
	WHERE surname LIKE @employeeSurname+ '%'
RETURN

I have also second method which should return Employees ID from TexBox above. My method reruns always 0. My method is below:

public int returnEmployeeId (string text) {
int employeeId = 0;
string query = "SELECT EmployeeId"
+ " FROM Employee WHERE surname LIKE'%" + text + "%'";
(...) 

return employeeId;
}

What I have tried:

I have tried to create method called returnEmployeeId for different ways. I wanted to use my strored procedure where SqlDataReader returns employeeId, but it always returns 0. I was also trying to create different query but always the same. TextBox where the data is shown has subbmited AutoPostBAck for true. Can someone give me a tip or a clue how to solve my problem.
Thank you in advance.

"I wanted to use my strored procedure", then show us the code where you are calling the stored procedure.

My method looks like this:
public int returnEmployeeId (string text) {
int employeeId = 0;
SqlConnection connection = CreateConnection.newConnection();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SearchEmployee", connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@employeeSurname ", text);
SqlDataReader reader;

using (connection)
{
connection.Open();
using (command)
{
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

reader = command.ExecuteReader();
if (reader.HasRows)
{
while (reader.Read())
{
employeeId = int.Parse(reader["EmployeeId"].ToString());
}
}

}
CreateConnection.closeConnection(connection);
}
return employeeId;
}

You need to set the command type to stored procedure.

Rather than using a stored procdure you should use a table valued function that returns a table

eg

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SearchEmployee]
(@employeeSurname varchar(80))
RETURNS TABLE 
AS
RETURN 
(SELECT (surname+ ' ' + name+ ' ' + DocNo) as surname, EmployeeId
	FROM Employee
	WHERE surname LIKE @employeeSurname+ '%'
)

Thus you can treat it like any normal table

ie

SQL

Select * from Searchemployee ('Bob')
