RETIRIVAL OF AUTO GENERATED NUMBER

[MUSTAFA IRSHAD]

DEAR SIRS,

I AM DEVELOPING A SOFTWARE BY USING VB.NET AND SQLSERVER 2000 FOR A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE A BROBLEM THAT I HAVE A FIELD FOR PRIMERY KEY WHICH IS AUTO GENERATED. I NEED THAT WHEN THE FORM IS LOADED THE NEXT AUTO GENERATED NO SHOULD BE IN THE REQUIRED TEXTBOX. HOW TO GET THE NEXT NUMBER FROM SQLSERVER2000 TO TEXTBOX.

I WILL APPRICIAT YOUR COOPERATION.

Hi Mustafa,

I think that you should make a Select sentence with an order clause in it
and use a datareader.

A better newsgroup to ask this question is
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.adonet

But I hope this helps?

ps. A lot of people do not answer messages with uppercases, so if you are
able to avoid that I think that i better.

Mustafa,

The best way to do this is to use a stored procedure on the database that
when the procedure is finished doing its insert which generates the
auto-gen'd number for the primary key, use RETURN @@SCOPE_IDENTIT Y at the
end of your stored proc, and capture this as a return value in VB. Saves a
round trip to the DB server to go back and get the value using a large where
clause, and you don't have datareader overhead.

I think when calling SCOPE_IDENTITY, you do not use the @@ on the front of
it. I was working with this yesterday and discovered that when return
SCOPE_IDENTITY you do it without the @@ in the front.

Chris,

You are absolutely right. It would be SCOPE_IDENTITY( ) or you can use
@@IDENTITY if scope is of no concern. Sometimes my brains mixes my
thoughts. :)
