Stored procedure is returning -1

Question

Hello friends I am developing an application in MVC 4.0 using entity framework. When i insert a row in the database table the value is inserted successfully. I am using scope_identity() to get the Identity value of the newly inserted column. When i execute the stored procedure it is showing the Scope_identity() value correctly. But when I am trying to insert the value through front-end code using stored procedure it is returning -1. Though the data is inserted successfully it is returning -1. Please help me in solving this issue. I need to get the ID.

Hello Ravi This is how i am writing the stored procedure. @UserId int @IP nvarchar(20) The table tblData has the following columns ID int PrimaryKey Identity UserID int null Date datetime null IP nvarchar(20) null insert into tblData values(@UserIDGETDATE()@IP) return scope_identity() My Asp.NET code is DataEntites obj=new DataEntites(); int a=obj.SPName(UserIDIP); In this way am passing the values to the database. The a value is displaying as -1. But when am executing the stored procedure it is returning the appropriate value. I don't know what mistake I am doing.
