Getting return value from stored procedure in ADO.NET

Question

I know that there is another question with nearly the same title, but it doesn\'t answer my question. I have a stored procedure, which returns the unique identifier after in

Answer 1

Do you get the value of you EXEC in TSQL? I wonder if refactoring the TSQL would help (and using SCOPE_IDENTITY():

so change:

COMMIT TRAN T1
RETURN @@IDENTITY

to:

SET @auctionID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
COMMIT TRAN T1
RETURN @auctionID

(I would also change the other @@IDENTITY to SCOPE_IDENTITY())

As a minor optimisation, you could also use:

return (int)retval.Value;

but this side of things should have worked "as is" from what I can see (hence why I'm focusing on the TSQL).
