need a return value from the stored procedure.

Question

I am trying to update a SQL-SERVER table using a Stored-Procedure which is called in a web-Service.
here i need a return value from the stored procedure so that i can send true or false to the user regarding the update confirmation.

I am Using C# as the language and ADO.Net architecture for connecting and manipulating SQL-Server Tables.

I am also using SQLDataConnection(System.Data.SqlClient).

Thanks in Advance

Hi zakir I am giving a sample which shows a Sp returning identity value and in the GUI we are accepting the return value. The SP goes like this CREATE PROCEDURE dbo . Ins_Item_Master ( @Serial VARCHAR ( 50 ) @ItemId INT  @ItemType VARCHAR ( 100 )) AS BEGIN DECLARE @ReturnValue INT SET NOCOUNT ON INSERT INTO item_master ( Serial  ItemId  ItemType ) VALUES ( @Serial  @ItemId  @ItemType ) SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY () END UI CALL No we are calling it from the C# code behind and we print it in the Web. try { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[16].ToString()); if (con.State == ConnectionState.Closed) { con.Open(); } SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(dbo.Ins_Item_Master con); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@Serial ser_ + chkItems.SelectedItem.Value); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@ItemId 1); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@ItemType chkItems.SelectedItem.Text); object returnValue = cmd.ExecuteScalar(); int intCount = (returnValue == null ? -1 : Convert.ToInt32(returnValue.ToString())); if (intCount >0) { Response.Write(Insert Successful); } } catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex.Message); } I think it should help your cause. Please keep me posted and mark it as an answer if you find my suggestion as helpful.
