In C# how to get return value from stored procedure using ExecuteNonQuery

Question

I have the following query:

create proc [dbo].[DeleteParts] 
    @TransNo nvarchar (6), @fpart nvarchar(25) 
AS 
    DECLARE @Returns BIT 
    SET @Returns =         


        

Answer 1

ExecuteNonQuery will return the number of rows affected but NOT data (that's why its a non-query). So it won't bring anything back.

This might be useful to read:

You'll need to use a different mechanism to get your data out - how about ExecuteReader with an output parameter?
