ExecuteSqlCommand with output parameter

Question

I\'m using Entity Framework in an ASP.NET MVC3 application and I\'m trying to use the following code:

var token = \"\";
this.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(\"exe         


        

Answer 1

var db = new DBContext();
var outParam = new SqlParameter
{
    ParameterName = "@Param",
    DbType = System.Data.DbType.String,
    Size = 20,
    Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output
};
var r = db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("EXEC MyStoredProd @Param OUT",outParam );
Console.WriteLine(outParam.Value);

The main part i see everyone is missing, is the OUT keyword needed after @Param.
