Stored Procedure Parameters

Question

How can we get only one column value in multiple column values from stored procedure at SQL server in ASP.Net?

There are multiple ways to do this. 1. Instead of selecting multiple values from you can select only one column in your query. 2. Your stored procedure can have one OUT parameter. You set value to this parameter in the stored procedure and access the value of this parameter in your code after executing the stored procedure. CREATE PROCEDURE myprocedure @outparam VARCHAR (50) OUT AS BEGIN SELECT @outparam = ( SELECT TOP 1 Name FROM Friends) END SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnString) SqlCommand Command = conn.CreateCommand() Command.CommandText = myprocedure ; objParameter = new SqlParameter( @outparam  SqlDbType.VarChar); objParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; Command.Parameters.Add(objParameter); Command.ExecuteNonQuery(); var returnValue = Command.Parameters[ @outparam ].Value; Thanks and regards Chetan Ranpariya
