Please help me to resole this issue. I am using c# 4.0 with sql-express 2008.

My query is: why the scope_identity() function in a SQL Stored Procedure returns a 0?

Code:

<pre>public partial class myfolder_Default3 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
SqlConnection conn;
SqlCommand cmd;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
conn = new SqlConnection("server=.;database=shikhar;integrated security=true");
cmd = new SqlCommand("insertmycommand", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
conn.Open();
SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters(cmd);
cmd.Parameters[1].Value = 10311;
cmd.Parameters[2].Value = 10000;

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Response.Write(cmd.Parameters[0].Value);
}</pre>

Stored procedure:
<pre>
create proc insertmycommand(@acc_no int, @amt int)
as
begin
insert into account values(@acc_no,@amt)
return scope_identity()
end
</pre>

What is scope_identity()? How do we guess what are you doing in there?

From MSDN: (scope_identity) Returns the last identity value inserted into an identity column in the same scope.

Solution 3

Option 1:
@acc_no is not an OUTPUT parameter, make it an OUTPUT parameter, and do this in your SP.

SQL

SET @acc_no = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Also tweak your C# code to make it an output parameter.

Option 2:
Instead of a return statement, use

SQL

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

in your Stored Procedure and use

C#

cmd.ExecuteScalar()

in your C# code.
