SQL insert issue. Running a stored procedure to insert rows to a table and returning the ID created. WHen I run it like this and have an output parameter @ID and use ExecuteNonQuery() it returns -1 for my int idinserted but does give me back the ID inserted. SHouldn't it return 1 since the record was inserted. I'd like to use ExecuteNonQuery to check the record was inserted then grab the inserted ID.
SQL INSERT
@person bigint,
@date datetime,
@ID bigint OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO table(person,DATE_ADDED)
VALUES (@person,@date)
SELECT @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
cmd.Parameters.Clear();
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@person", person);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", DateTime.Now);
SqlParameter output = new SqlParameter("@ID", SqlDbType.Int);
output.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add(output);
int idinserted = (int)cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (idinserted > 0)
{
int ID = output.Value;
}
When I do the insert and c# like this with ExecuteScalar()
SQL INSERT
@person bigint,
@date datetime
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO table(person ,DATE_ADDED)
VALUES(@person,@date )
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
cmd.Parameters.Clear();
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@person", person);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", DateTime.Now);
long ID = (long)cmd.ExecuteNonScalar();
ExecuteScalar() throws the following error
"Specificed Cast it not valid
