always getting a 0 returned using ExecuteScalar (ms datablocks)

Max
Anyone know why I'm always getting 0 returned? My stored procedure
returns -1.

Dim iErrorCode As Int32
iErrorCode = Convert.ToInt32(SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(AppVars.st rConn, _
"gpUpdateMember", _
Convert.ToInt32(lblMember_id.Text), _
-snip-

ExecuteScalar: Executes the query, and returns the first column of the
first row in the result set returned by the query. Extra columns or rows are
ignored.

To get a Return value you have to use a parameter...

cmd.Parameters.Add("RETURN_VALUE", SqlDbType.Int).Direction =
ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
....
Dim retval as integer = CInt(cmd.Parameters("RETURN_VALUE").Value)

Thanks I know that works, but principally speaking I swore I could return a
value with ExecuteScalar. I think it's my return statement in the stored
procedure...

something like...
RETURN SELECT @errorcode
or..
RETURN SELECT myvar = @errorcode

Something that returns a recordset, but it doesn't...

Thanks for your guys help!

You almost got it, just drop the RETURN part

SELECT @errorcode

I think you're right! lol! This tells me I need to get a book on tsql
instead of relying on samples and quick start guides.

Thanks!
