Help Required in SqlHelper.Execu teNonQuery

RJN

Hi

I want to get the rerurn value from a stored procedure

My stored proc looks like this

create proc test
.....
if..
return 1
else
if ..
return 2
else
..return 0

I'm using the SqlHelper.Execu teNonQuery and pass the procedure name,
connection and an array of parameters. How I do I get the return value
from this. If I create a parameter of Diretion ReturnValue and include
in the parameter array, I get an error that the parameters don't match.
WHat is the correct way of doing?

Regards

RJN

Hi,

Use ExecuteScalar instead.

Use executeScalar to return a ret val. ExecuteNonQuery would be for
something like "set transaction isolation level read uncommitted" or
similar.

Forgot to mention that I'm having update statements in the stored proc
so i can't use ExecuteScalar

True, but DML from the front-end is bad practice. Stored procedures should
be the only means of DML.

Hi,

I guess an output parameter is your only option.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
