How to call Stored Procedure in Entity Framework 6 (Code-First)?

Question

I am very new to Entity Framework 6 and I want to implement stored procedures in my project. I have a stored procedure as follows:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ins         


        

Answer 1

You can call a stored procedure in your DbContext class as follows.

this.Database.SqlQuery<YourEntityType>("storedProcedureName",params);

But if your stored procedure returns multiple result sets as your sample code, then you can see this helpful article on MSDN

Stored Procedures with Multiple Result Sets

Answer 2

I solved it with ExecuteSqlCommand

Put your own method like mine in DbContext as your own instances:

public void addmessage(<yourEntity> _msg)
{
    var date = new SqlParameter("@date", _msg.MDate);
    var subject = new SqlParameter("@subject", _msg.MSubject);
    var body = new SqlParameter("@body", _msg.MBody);
    var fid = new SqlParameter("@fid", _msg.FID);
    this.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("exec messageinsert @Date , @Subject , @Body , @Fid", date,subject,body,fid);
}

so you can have a method in your code-behind like this :

[WebMethod] //this method is static and i use web method because i call this method from client side
public static void AddMessage(string Date, string Subject, string Body, string Follower, string Department)
{
    try
    {
        using (DBContext reposit = new DBContext())
        {
            msge <yourEntity> Newmsg = new msge();
            Newmsg.MDate = Date;
            Newmsg.MSubject = Subject.Trim();
            Newmsg.MBody = Body.Trim();
            Newmsg.FID= 5;
            reposit.addmessage(Newmsg);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

this is my SP :

Create PROCEDURE dbo.MessageInsert

    @Date nchar["size"],
    @Subject nchar["size"],
    @Body nchar["size"],
    @Fid int
AS
    insert into Msg (MDate,MSubject,MBody,FID) values (@Date,@Subject,@Body,@Fid)
    RETURN

hope helped you

object[] xparams = {
            new SqlParameter("@ParametterWithNummvalue", DBNull.Value),
            new SqlParameter("@In_Parameter", "Value"),
            new SqlParameter("@Out_Parameter", SqlDbType.Int) {Direction = ParameterDirection.Output}};

        YourDbContext.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("exec StoreProcedure_Name @ParametterWithNummvalue, @In_Parameter, @Out_Parameter", xparams);
        var ReturnValue = ((SqlParameter)params[2]).Value;
