Getting Data for a stored procedure

[jed]

I have created a stored procedure in SQLExpress management.I need to
retrieve a numeric value that the stored procedure creates and use it
in a C# application.Please help thanks.
USE [biking checks]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[Getlastodo] Script Date:
03/19/2007 00:54:23 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Getlastodo]

AS
BEGIN

SELECT MAX(Totaldistance) AS lastodo
FROM bik

END
need to retrieve the lastodo value

Look into using the SqlCommand class and the ExecuteScalar method.

You execute the stored procedure and you get a DataReader which
you read just as if it were a SELECT you had executed.
