Hi Manas  Thanks for your response. But I would like to know as I have stored procedure which returns multiple columns as result set from those I need only one column because I want to use these columns in another Stored Procedure. Is it possible without using temp table and CTE?

You can use simple SQL query to fetch single column value with ExecuteScalar(). Follow below code: try { SQLCON = new SqlConnection(connectionString); SQLCON.Open(); SQLCommand = new SqlCommand(); SQLCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text; SQLCommand.Parameters.Add( username  SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = saida ; SQLCommand.CommandText = SELECT role FROM tblUser WHERE USUsername = @username ; Int32 USRole = (Int32) SQLCommand.ExecuteScalar(); return USRole; } catch (Exception) { // Log it } Same thing you can do through StoredProcedure. Follow below code: // SQL Stored procedure CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_GetUserRole] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @username VARCHAR(50) AS BEGIN -- Declare the return variable here DECLARE @USRole as int -- Add the T-SQL statements to compute the return value here SELECT @USRole = tblUser.USRole FROM tblUser WHERE USUsername = @username -- Return the result of the function RETURN @USRole END // C# code string cnStr = Server=.;Database=Sandbox;Integrated Security=sspi; ; using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) { cn.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand( sp_GetUserRole  cn)) { cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; SqlParameter returnValue = new SqlParameter( @USRole  SqlDbType.Int); returnValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue; cmd.Parameters.Add(returnValue); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); int returnvalue = ( int )cmd.Parameters[ @USRole ].Value; } }
