TableAdapter returns null for stored proc returning a single value

[bogdan]

Hi,

I have a stored procedure that returns a single value. Example:
[...]
SELECT @RowCount = COUNT(*) FROM t WHERE [...]
RETURN @RowCount

I created a data set, table adapter, and adapter's method configured for the
stored proc and as returning a single value. The wizard created an adapter
method that calls SqlCommand.Exec uteScalar(). The problem is that
ExecuteScalar() always returns a null object. I have no problem executing
the stored procedure from outside of asp.net.

Could someone please let me give me some idea what could be wrong here?

Thanks,
Bogdan

Have you set the SqlCommand.Comm andType to StoredProcedure ?

I used TableAdapter Qeury Configuration Wizard and selected "Use existing
stored procedure".

executescaler returns the first column, of the first row, of the first
resultset. your stored proc does not return any rows, only a return value. to
get the return value, use ExecuteNonQuery with a returnvalue parameter

cmd.CommandText = "myproc";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Sto redProcedure;
SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@ returnValue",Sq lDbType.Int);
param.Direction = ParameterDirect ion.ReturnValue ;
cmd.Parameters. Add(param);
cmd.ExecuteNonQ uery();
int rows = (int) cmd.Parameters( "@returnValue") .Value;
